How to contact Dave about doing a circuit for pay
« on: February 16, 2016, 08:10:36 pm »
Anyone know if Dave will do request circuit schematic for pay?

I am wanting to replace a 6V SLA battery with a 7.2V Sony Li-Ion camera battery.

I must limit the charge peak 8.4V to a max of 7.3V and hope to not draw current after reaching the 7.3V and lower as the battery draws down to extend battery life.

2 chances, and the best one is pretty slim........

However, you can easily get a battery management board which will handle the battery itself ( if the Sony one does not have one in it already to do the undervoltage and charge protection) so leaving you just to put in a simple 2S lithium charge board, which handles charging the cell and connecting the load to it all in a small package. All available pre built on a PCB from your favourite PRC suppliers, or you can build them up from separate parts if you can design a PCB.

Short answer: No

He has stated multiple times on the Amp Hour that he doesn't like doing contract work.

You failed the first test of not being to contact me! So that automatically rules you out  ;D
But no, I don't do contract work any more anyway.

Before you cause a Lithium Ion battery to explode or catch on fire (difficult to extinguish) you should learn about the basics. Go to www.batteryuniversity.com .
This battery has a label that says for you to use its specified charger only. Its voltage is lower than normal so maybe it is a Lithium-ferrous type instead of a normal lithium-cobalt type.

Send me a pm, I do contract work. ;)
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic; e.g., Cheez Whiz, Hot Dogs and RF.

Thanks Dave,
I really do appreciate all your hard work and Youtube!

I thought it would be worth a shot over the bow to see if I could land a good schematic to work from.

Thanks all


Audioguru I am not charging a battery to see it explode!

I'm sure Dave would design your circuit, if you offered  $100,000

I don't think Dave would,  he has expressed that opinion many times.
To the OP,   'have a go'  with a schematic after some research,  google is useful,    put it up,  I am sure you will get criticism both constructive and otherwise,  choose carefully which you listen to  and go from there.
Whoah! Watch where that landed we might need it later.

You should also consider looking for an electronics forum to ask on--you may be able to find someone to help you or answer your questions.
