 Hey there YouTube. Yeah, I was gonna just do a quick Just a quick demonstration of how I I would charge my batteries from time to time See if I'm on the meter here You can see that One volt Pretty much bang on one volt in the battery Yeah And all I do Is get my power supply that's the minimum it can get out many ways 1.38 they're locked. I put that on there So the situation I put that like that That's a little bit too high There's a current now, okay Now as you can see it's like out there the same sort of voltage is what was on the battery What we want to do now is just give it a little bit of Little bit of current It's about 25 25 milliamp, that'll do that'll do and then That'll go down. I'll be keeping a check on the battery That was like those down. I mean if it starts going up Too hard like it's shorting out and we know you got a problem That will start It's all settled and go down we should move all these wires and things Out of the way here Leave that there. I'm not gonna video the whole thing But this battery is like, you know, it's pretty much like 1.5 volts in it so I need to keep a bit of a check on that actually. It's not as expected I'm just making sure that it's not just getting over warm quick or anything silly like that 30 seconds keep a check on it like that and I'll just basically just leave it. What we'll find after an hour Also Things like the batteries getting more more charged on it. I wouldn't advise, you know, just to do this and then leave the batteries It's not such a good idea But if you're sat in the room You know And you're observing And it's not so bad or if you were to put it in a jar a glass jar Just so it's insulated against anything else like paper In the jar, of course, if it's a glass jar, you can see what's going on inside it starts to Have anything detrimental go on with it. A good one is just to keep an eye on the temperature I need some of the women I bought batteries as well The ones that are in these the one that's in that little This one came with it. So that's still good. That hasn't been charged The one that's in here has been charged a few times And the one that's in this has been charged a few times as well. It needs to be charged again Actually, so we're getting that on probably do we just turn it up a little bit So now that it's not Let's see it starts coming down again first Because basically as this gets more charging it that should drop down So it gets down low enough just turn up a little bit more until you get to the desired voltage Which on this is going to be you know, like one and a half volts Let's put just a little bit higher than one and a half volts into it I've not had one go funny on me yet, but then I have had A battery Go wrong in my keyboard where it leaks that could have been down to charging them like this I mean, they're so cheap now in here really aren't they batteries? I didn't know why I'm charging so I don't really need it. It's the white door of my keyboard keyboard rubbish 50 quid keyboard doesn't even All right, so I'm just gonna leave that there for a while till I start seeing that come down once it gets down to low Below 35 I'll just turn it up again a little bit. I just started off really low just in case it's gonna do anything, you know dodgy I Was keeping on it on the temperature. It'll come back to that a little bit We're still going there the battery has gone up to 1.45 We're still putting in 45 million Still cold Let's just take this up for a second and do a quick learn to magnets jump together No, of course this will drop down a bit Just gonna look at the initial thing it was on one bolt wasn't it pretty much dead on I say we'll drop down a bit and I see the voltage over there look 1.7 We're too high 1.5 And just keep it game see 1.4 volts now. It's dropped down to 11 million You can see that you can If I just turn that back up where he's signing just I just keep it going like that. It's not gonna You know sort of charge it full blast It will certainly allow me to put These two batteries that came out my heating system I Not even loving the LED display to light up not light up as in backlit I mean just the LEDs the LCD. Sorry LEDs The LCDs bill at least give me Yeah, a few months With those in there again System is gonna be a bit of a pain in the backside of the minute, so I'm gonna go in the tent of that And I come back to this in a little bit Okay, so batteries now at 1.5 just flicker on to one volt and it's dropping down to 35 milliamp carrying him I don't know how long it's been Charging I've just done The final part and rendering now of the Hobson Reassemble in the new shell That's taken some time And that's about quite exhausting not changing up Hobson. That was lovely That was a nice little task, but I did forget something And I may have to put them in little bits of foam that we'll see So that has taken some time because one of the bloody camera to those 32 sections of film Most similar a gig each crazy What with the camera turning off and brilliant out of charge Anyway, so This is it. You know, this is it's not warm at all. It's cold to the touch. Oh, this is when I pick it up When I pick it up that's probably because of the connection. It's a bit better or worse Now I'll do this one I'll let that go up to like one point probably about 1.6 and take it off Then I should be good for about 1.4 1.4 and a half volts in that battery But it'd be good to go back into the controller display thing like I said That's how I do it. That's how I charge these little batteries It's not so good charge in a single pencil battery. That's a bit rubbish really But when you're doing like you know your 9 volt batteries people threes and then It's You know There's more beneficial cost effective. Well, it's not cost me anything Anyways, it because it's a solar power power supply coming off the batteries that I've taken some Sunday and I've already managed to charge Two batteries in my controller and two batteries for my quadcopter From my solar batteries. So I'm more unhappy with how all that works Does that mean great right? I so come back in a little bit when I take this off and Then I'll leave it the back you just stand for at least an hour and we do a voltage check on the battery and see what we actually have Come in there see it a bit. So it's probably about another 45 minutes later now. We're up to 1.5 3 volts 29 milliamps going in not warm at all And the battery is slowly charging up. I'll probably turn it off manly because I need to feel a bit 30 20 past 10, but I'm completely exhausted Started again tomorrow. So it's still still charging Cold to the touch no overheating issues at all The current is dropping voltages. It's gone up. It's just flicking between 159 and 16 and The battery is slowly being charged Some can say, you know that so well where's the point where you can buy batteries cheap enough? Yeah, it's not Really an argument whether it's the point of whether it's worth charging it or not This is the sort of thing you do in the situation. Let's see. We've got no money a lot of people These days find it hard to make ends meet if you Have got a way of doing this especially as whatever powers going on in here. I'm getting it from the Sun So it's not cost me a penny. And like I said earlier on it is more efficient. It's a better thing to do when you're using a 9-volt battery Unfortunately, mine were charged at the moment. I didn't have one. I found one the other day And amongst those other things have to get on and do I seem to have misplaced it. Otherwise, I put the 9-volt battery on And show you that you can do the same thing with the 9-volt battery. I have not actually tried doing two cells at a time and the reason why I haven't done that is because With my other batteries rechargeable batteries if they're two cells, you know two three point seven volt job is There's a balance sense wire And of course, I'm not quite sure how all the mechanics of that works and just for the sake of doing this sort of thing I'm not even really going to get into it because generally, I've got rechargeable batteries That I use And so I don't really need to do the pencil batteries so much But for the 9-volt batteries, it comes in really handy and also for the bigger six-volt lantern batteries Now I've only done this once and that's for a friend of mine But he damaged the lantern and threw the whole thing away much to my Disappointment because I said to my mind to have the battery and keep it, but So as you can see We're still gonna be charged now. I'll leave that still for a little while longer if I disconnect here You'll see that I'm actually putting in around about 1.7 volts, but I don't automatically start off with that What he says 1.8 now? That's because I have made slight adjustments just to Ensure that it's pushing in Power because you're gonna have you know more going in than what you want to be stored in there obviously There's no point you couldn't on 1.5 and expecting to have 1.5 in here when I when they Current was pretty much gone all the way down You know once it's under sort of like 20 milliamp. That's it. I can't bother them anymore But I won't push this up much higher Than the 1.8 at all anyway And if I did it would probably be not really realizing so I might try and tweak that up So it says like 1.62 or something and of course when I take it off. It probably says 1.84 Of course that is one problem with the magnets They do work really well. I Did start off, you know, I used to put this a wire on the end and just Just pull these back and put tape across there, but These little hard drive batteries They're really really good for that sort of thing That's how I charge up the batteries. I'll do it again. That's I like to stage you with an I-Bolt battery Just for the sake of this I think I'm gonna pretty much call this a day because I Got there's quite a lot of little clips now It's probably about seven or eight and it's going to join together and probably make a ten minute video And it's probably going to be quite boring. We'll get to see, you know, how the voltage goes up And how the current comes down as it's going in there What I'll do is I'll disconnect this leave it off for an hour or so So it just settles down chemically and then take a reading on the meter and see exactly what's in there But I'm suspecting what you're gonna see even if I did the reading right now Is you're gonna see one point five eight on the battery, but it won't really be one point five eight Just be with the chemical reaction doing what it's doing. I should actually just demonstrate that shouldn't I? Rather than just say it There you go one point six that's going to drop down a little bit and then maybe I should leave this off now And how other way is you can see over there look at one point eight on the power supply And then and then check it out in an hour once it's just settled was that will drop down a little Resistance in here as well. It's probably taking a little bit of power out of there And then it's time to charge the next one which should be around about again a volt That's got like a hundred millivolts More power than what that one had put this on Now I don't really want one point eight going in there cuz you watch this way one point eight Well, that's not so bad sixty two Yeah Go over that and I was that six that's sixty three Milliamps drops the voltage goes up. I'll have a little look in an hour Oh Look at the look in an hour at this one see how far that's propped and see how far that one's gone up What the difference is between this one point seven eight one point two eight now? point zero six four I'm not exactly comfortable with the way this is Going up as quickly as it's going so I'm gonna turn this down a little bit more just keep it around the lower number That's probably a little bit too far down Much prefer You know, it's not getting warmer. I think I still much prefer if it's Just goes in there a little bit more gently because what can happen is There we go. I keep it like that for a while for an hour because what can happen as I've noticed is All of a sudden it can act like a bit of a short circuit Because it's just going too quickly. I mean, I don't know if that's exactly true. I don't know enough about How the batteries work All I know is so far when I've been doing this sort of thing. I've kept it reasonably safe By doing it the way I've been doing it and so I tend to Stick for that the way I did have it in my head at one stage was don't try and put more than 10 percent in As to what is already there. I could one volt one point one volt but I probably doesn't Really read true on anything or actually make any Sense to somebody who knows about charging batteries but I do try and just Rather than turn on full pressure and put it in Just gently gently and it'll equalize itself out anyway So I just turn that down a little bit and it's just dropped it down to 0.028 as you can see yourself But I won't mind so much of that goes up a little bit in an hour's time and I just made everything's fine I don't know Not that long 20 minutes, but that's a quick look at what's on there still What was it before one point six was it? Okay, I said it'll be going down for itself. So it's one point five six And if it's anywhere between sort of like one point four five and one point five and I'm happy with that It's never a fresh battery So as you can see now look it's 1.38 On the supply there. It's probably about the same on the battery and it's pulling it down. It's already got 16 milliamps going in though So now So as you say one point three nine, so I said probably that one point four point two, okay one point four three Let's just turn that up a little bit to One point six put that back Now it's at thirty five thirty six. I'll just leave that until it starts going Down again till I notice it. So I'm just going to turn this up a little bit now one point four five Probably got about one point six Probably should rate it down to my what was on there is one point five six was it and it was going down still But it shouldn't really hold my one point five anyway, so One point five one let's call it one point five on this battery And we just give that a bit more time okay, so It's been probably about I don't I don't know how many hours because I went out About two and a half hours to fly my kite my quad It's me electronic kite And so I switched it all off. I don't like the idea of leaving this sort of thing going if I'm not going to be around to supervise it just in case So it says we've got one point six over there, so let's just check this one that we did earlier I think it was just a tad over one point five wasn't it? Look at this One point four eight So it looks like this is Looks like he's going up there That's what I expected to sort of bounce around about about one point five Because really I mean just to even a rechargeable battery takes a good while I Like up to 16 hours. I think in one of the charges I've got I leave the batteries on overnight. So these I've not had No, we're near as that and I know that a Leaking and I know that even with my quad batteries if I don't let them fully fully charge even if I take them off when they're on like eight point let's say eight point eight point three seven They're not as good that they have you know the amount of capacity isn't as much it may say to start off with it's got the Right voltage, but I don't get as much time. I get about 16 minutes 17 minutes rather than 19 20 minutes with them So let's take that off That's about one point eight volts. I adjusted it up But this is gonna say higher anyway, so it takes a time before it goes down But it's definitely charged. It's definitely charging up, you know, even in a short space of hours It's definitely charging up So it goes to show, you know that you can charge these batteries the non-rechargeable ones It's probably not the safest thing just leave them unattended because It does stipulate Somewhere I've seen it on non-rechargeable, but I'm not charging them up But you can do it But it is this is my virtual private network people beeping at me Yeah, sorry about so yeah, just to conclude you can You know, I've been doing this for quite a while mainly not so much for these but mainly with the Nine volt square batteries, you know as it comes in handy, especially, you know For these things this one's got battery that came in with this is a freebie. I got sent by Rygall UK But um This one's got a recharge battery in it This one's got a recharge battery not have to do this one quite a bit especially when I was using it a lot more and But now as I can get off the quad stuff now go back to building electronic circuits I will be using that one a lot more I'll show when I do that one, but It was just some I was asked not you know, you know Mr. Bunny at home And that's it. That's how I do it. That's how I do it I just don't I just don't overpower it, you know, I just don't whack it in straight away The 1.8 volts into a 1.5 volt battery Start off with it low let it build up a little bit. Just keep a check on the heat I've not had any problems in the so far getting warm or anything like that And that's it and if it does Go up really high In current just disconnect it because it's it's not doing what it's supposed to Supposed to just take it in bit by bit Nice in general. Cheers watching. Bye
