RobSmithDev | Not All Electronics Modules Are What They Seem - Careful what you Charge! @RobSmithDev | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
After running my solar powered fireflies for a while I noticed some strange behaviour, and on investigating I discovered that the charge controller I was using wasn't providing any over-discharge protection.
In this video we look at battery protection and how to fix this problem.
I think in future I'd probably get a combined TP4056/DW01 board and connect a boost converter to the output. You live and learn...!
