How to Make the Ultimate 18650 Power Bank with Infinitely Expandable Capacity
ChannelK R A L Y N 3DIn brief
Build a customizable, expandable 18650 power bank with removable battery packs for unlimited capacity—ideal for electronics enthusiasts comfortable with soldering and circuit assembly. The design prioritizes modularity and cost-efficiency, though it demands intermediate electronics skills and careful handling of lithium batteries.
Questions & answers
What skill level is required?
This project requires more than basic electronics knowledge, including soldering, circuit assembly, and lithium battery safety handling.
Description from the creator
In this video I will show you the ultimate solution to power on the go. This DIY power bank features a removable battery pack, which can be easily replaced, giving this power bank unlimited capacity as long as you have enough cells. The cost of the row components of this power bank is around 60 dollars, which is two times cheaper than anything commercially equivalent.
WARNING: Do everything at your own risk, lithium batteries can catch fire or explode if mishandled. This power bank requires a more than a basic understanding of electronic to complete.
