Today we’re going to be making a DIY lithium battery charger and more specifically aimed at charging 18650 cells. I sometimes take apart some of these laptop batteries to recover 18650 cells and I have a bunch so far that I kept. Every-time I salvage these cells I test them before deciding to keep them or not.
As you can imagine it takes time and I need to charge multiple cells at once. So I will be making a charger that can handle 4 x 18650 cells but the project is scalable and you can increase or decrease the number of cells it can handle according to your needs. As usual, links for all the items will be in the video description.
