    +title: "ESP8266 Pinout : Comprehensive Guide to the GPIO Pins"
    +url: "https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/"
    +body: """
      The [ESP8266 pinout](https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/) refers to the arrangement and functionality of the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins on the ESP8266 module. The ESP8266 is a popular and versatile Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller board widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems projects. Its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are crucial for interfacing with external devices, sensors, and other components.\n
      \n
      In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the ESP8266 pinout, discussing each pin’s functionalities, specifications, and common use cases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this comprehensive guide will help you harness the full potential of the ESP 8266 GPIO pins. Understanding the ESP8266 pinout is essential for proper wiring and utilizing the GPIO pins to interface with external components and sensors in your ESP8266 projects.\n
      \n
      ESP8266 Pinout The ESP8266 module typically comes in various form factors, such as the ESP-01, ESP-12E, and ESP-12F, among others. While the number and arrangement of GPIO pins may vary slightly depending on the specific module, we will focus on the ESP-12E/F variant, which is commonly used and offers 17 GPIO pins. Below is the detailed pinout description:\n
      \n
      VCC: This pin provides the power supply voltage (typically 3.3V) to the module. Ensure you connect a stable power source to this pin.\n
      \n
      GND: Connect this pin to the ground of your circuit.\n
      \n
      EN: Also known as the Enable pin or the CHIP_EN pin, this pin is used to enable or disable the ESP 8266 module. To enable the module, connect this pin to the VCC pin.\n
      \n
      RST: The Reset pin is used to reset the ESP8266 module. To trigger a reset, connect this pin to the ground momentarily.\n
      \n
      GPIO0: This pin is a multipurpose input/output pin. It plays a critical role during the boot process, as it determines whether the module enters programming mode or normal operating mode. Connect this pin to either VCC or GND depending on your programming or operating mode requirements.\n
      \n
      GPIO2: Similar to GPIO0, this pin is also a multipurpose I/O pin. However, it does not have any specific boot-related functionality. You can use it for various purposes in your project.\n
      \n
      GPIO15: This pin is primarily used as a boot mode selector. It determines whether the module boots from the flash memory or an external source. Connect this pin to GND during normal operation.\n
      \n
      GPIO16: This pin is often used as an input or output pin, and it supports the deep-sleep mode functionality.\n
      \n
      UART (TX and RX): These pins are used for serial communication with other devices. TX (transmit) is used to send data, while RX (receive) is used to receive data.\n
      \n
      ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) Pins: Some ESP8266 modules feature one or more ADC pins, which allow you to read analog signals from external sensors or devices.\n
      \n
      SPI Pins: The ESP 8266 supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication. The SPI pins consist of CLK (clock), MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and CS (Chip Select). These pins enable communication with SPI devices like sensors, displays, and memory chips.\n
      \n
      I2C Pins: The ESP8266 also supports Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication. The I2C pins include SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line), allowing you to connect and communicate with I2C-compatible devices.

    +title: "ESP8266 Pinout : Comprehensive Guide to the GPIO Pins"
    +url: "https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/"
    +body: """
      The [ESP8266 pinout](https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/) refers to the arrangement and functionality of the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins on the ESP8266 module. The ESP8266 is a popular and versatile Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller board widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems projects. Its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are crucial for interfacing with external devices, sensors, and other components.\n
      \n
      In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the ESP8266 pinout, discussing each pin’s functionalities, specifications, and common use cases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this comprehensive guide will help you harness the full potential of the ESP 8266 GPIO pins. Understanding the ESP8266 pinout is essential for proper wiring and utilizing the GPIO pins to interface with external components and sensors in your ESP8266 projects.\n
      \n
      ESP8266 Pinout The ESP8266 module typically comes in various form factors, such as the ESP-01, ESP-12E, and ESP-12F, among others. While the number and arrangement of GPIO pins may vary slightly depending on the specific module, we will focus on the ESP-12E/F variant, which is commonly used and offers 17 GPIO pins. Below is the detailed pinout description:\n
      \n
      VCC: This pin provides the power supply voltage (typically 3.3V) to the module. Ensure you connect a stable power source to this pin.\n
      \n
      GND: Connect this pin to the ground of your circuit.\n
      \n
      EN: Also known as the Enable pin or the CHIP_EN pin, this pin is used to enable or disable the ESP 8266 module. To enable the module, connect this pin to the VCC pin.\n
      \n
      RST: The Reset pin is used to reset the ESP8266 module. To trigger a reset, connect this pin to the ground momentarily.\n
      \n
      GPIO0: This pin is a multipurpose input/output pin. It plays a critical role during the boot process, as it determines whether the module enters programming mode or normal operating mode. Connect this pin to either VCC or GND depending on your programming or operating mode requirements.\n
      \n
      GPIO2: Similar to GPIO0, this pin is also a multipurpose I/O pin. However, it does not have any specific boot-related functionality. You can use it for various purposes in your project.\n
      \n
      GPIO15: This pin is primarily used as a boot mode selector. It determines whether the module boots from the flash memory or an external source. Connect this pin to GND during normal operation.\n
      \n
      GPIO16: This pin is often used as an input or output pin, and it supports the deep-sleep mode functionality.\n
      \n
      UART (TX and RX): These pins are used for serial communication with other devices. TX (transmit) is used to send data, while RX (receive) is used to receive data.\n
      \n
      ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) Pins: Some ESP8266 modules feature one or more ADC pins, which allow you to read analog signals from external sensors or devices.\n
      \n
      SPI Pins: The ESP 8266 supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication. The SPI pins consist of CLK (clock), MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and CS (Chip Select). These pins enable communication with SPI devices like sensors, displays, and memory chips.\n
      \n
      I2C Pins: The ESP8266 also supports Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication. The I2C pins include SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line), allowing you to connect and communicate with I2C-compatible devices.

    +title: "ESP8266 Pinout : Comprehensive Guide to the GPIO Pins"
    +url: "https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/"
    +body: """
      The [ESP8266 pinout](https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/) refers to the arrangement and functionality of the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins on the ESP8266 module. The ESP8266 is a popular and versatile Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller board widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems projects. Its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are crucial for interfacing with external devices, sensors, and other components.\n
      \n
      In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the ESP8266 pinout, discussing each pin’s functionalities, specifications, and common use cases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this comprehensive guide will help you harness the full potential of the ESP 8266 GPIO pins. Understanding the ESP8266 pinout is essential for proper wiring and utilizing the GPIO pins to interface with external components and sensors in your ESP8266 projects.\n
      \n
      ESP8266 Pinout The ESP8266 module typically comes in various form factors, such as the ESP-01, ESP-12E, and ESP-12F, among others. While the number and arrangement of GPIO pins may vary slightly depending on the specific module, we will focus on the ESP-12E/F variant, which is commonly used and offers 17 GPIO pins. Below is the detailed pinout description:\n
      \n
      VCC: This pin provides the power supply voltage (typically 3.3V) to the module. Ensure you connect a stable power source to this pin.\n
      \n
      GND: Connect this pin to the ground of your circuit.\n
      \n
      EN: Also known as the Enable pin or the CHIP_EN pin, this pin is used to enable or disable the ESP 8266 module. To enable the module, connect this pin to the VCC pin.\n
      \n
      RST: The Reset pin is used to reset the ESP8266 module. To trigger a reset, connect this pin to the ground momentarily.\n
      \n
      GPIO0: This pin is a multipurpose input/output pin. It plays a critical role during the boot process, as it determines whether the module enters programming mode or normal operating mode. Connect this pin to either VCC or GND depending on your programming or operating mode requirements.\n
      \n
      GPIO2: Similar to GPIO0, this pin is also a multipurpose I/O pin. However, it does not have any specific boot-related functionality. You can use it for various purposes in your project.\n
      \n
      GPIO15: This pin is primarily used as a boot mode selector. It determines whether the module boots from the flash memory or an external source. Connect this pin to GND during normal operation.\n
      \n
      GPIO16: This pin is often used as an input or output pin, and it supports the deep-sleep mode functionality.\n
      \n
      UART (TX and RX): These pins are used for serial communication with other devices. TX (transmit) is used to send data, while RX (receive) is used to receive data.\n
      \n
      ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) Pins: Some ESP8266 modules feature one or more ADC pins, which allow you to read analog signals from external sensors or devices.\n
      \n
      SPI Pins: The ESP 8266 supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication. The SPI pins consist of CLK (clock), MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and CS (Chip Select). These pins enable communication with SPI devices like sensors, displays, and memory chips.\n
      \n
      I2C Pins: The ESP8266 also supports Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication. The I2C pins include SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line), allowing you to connect and communicate with I2C-compatible devices.

    +title: "ESP8266 Pinout : Comprehensive Guide to the GPIO Pins"
    +url: "https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/"
    +body: """
      The [ESP8266 pinout](https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/) refers to the arrangement and functionality of the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins on the ESP8266 module. The ESP8266 is a popular and versatile Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller board widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems projects. Its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are crucial for interfacing with external devices, sensors, and other components.\n
      \n
      In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the ESP8266 pinout, discussing each pin’s functionalities, specifications, and common use cases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this comprehensive guide will help you harness the full potential of the ESP 8266 GPIO pins. Understanding the ESP8266 pinout is essential for proper wiring and utilizing the GPIO pins to interface with external components and sensors in your ESP8266 projects.\n
      \n
      ESP8266 Pinout The ESP8266 module typically comes in various form factors, such as the ESP-01, ESP-12E, and ESP-12F, among others. While the number and arrangement of GPIO pins may vary slightly depending on the specific module, we will focus on the ESP-12E/F variant, which is commonly used and offers 17 GPIO pins. Below is the detailed pinout description:\n
      \n
      VCC: This pin provides the power supply voltage (typically 3.3V) to the module. Ensure you connect a stable power source to this pin.\n
      \n
      GND: Connect this pin to the ground of your circuit.\n
      \n
      EN: Also known as the Enable pin or the CHIP_EN pin, this pin is used to enable or disable the ESP 8266 module. To enable the module, connect this pin to the VCC pin.\n
      \n
      RST: The Reset pin is used to reset the ESP8266 module. To trigger a reset, connect this pin to the ground momentarily.\n
      \n
      GPIO0: This pin is a multipurpose input/output pin. It plays a critical role during the boot process, as it determines whether the module enters programming mode or normal operating mode. Connect this pin to either VCC or GND depending on your programming or operating mode requirements.\n
      \n
      GPIO2: Similar to GPIO0, this pin is also a multipurpose I/O pin. However, it does not have any specific boot-related functionality. You can use it for various purposes in your project.\n
      \n
      GPIO15: This pin is primarily used as a boot mode selector. It determines whether the module boots from the flash memory or an external source. Connect this pin to GND during normal operation.\n
      \n
      GPIO16: This pin is often used as an input or output pin, and it supports the deep-sleep mode functionality.\n
      \n
      UART (TX and RX): These pins are used for serial communication with other devices. TX (transmit) is used to send data, while RX (receive) is used to receive data.\n
      \n
      ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) Pins: Some ESP8266 modules feature one or more ADC pins, which allow you to read analog signals from external sensors or devices.\n
      \n
      SPI Pins: The ESP 8266 supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication. The SPI pins consist of CLK (clock), MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and CS (Chip Select). These pins enable communication with SPI devices like sensors, displays, and memory chips.\n
      \n
      I2C Pins: The ESP8266 also supports Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication. The I2C pins include SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line), allowing you to connect and communicate with I2C-compatible devices.

    +title: "ESP8266 Pinout : Comprehensive Guide to the GPIO Pins"
    +url: "https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/"
    +body: """
      The [ESP8266 pinout](https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/) refers to the arrangement and functionality of the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins on the ESP8266 module. The ESP8266 is a popular and versatile Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller board widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems projects. Its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are crucial for interfacing with external devices, sensors, and other components.\n
      \n
      In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the ESP8266 pinout, discussing each pin’s functionalities, specifications, and common use cases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this comprehensive guide will help you harness the full potential of the ESP 8266 GPIO pins. Understanding the ESP8266 pinout is essential for proper wiring and utilizing the GPIO pins to interface with external components and sensors in your ESP8266 projects.\n
      \n
      ESP8266 Pinout The ESP8266 module typically comes in various form factors, such as the ESP-01, ESP-12E, and ESP-12F, among others. While the number and arrangement of GPIO pins may vary slightly depending on the specific module, we will focus on the ESP-12E/F variant, which is commonly used and offers 17 GPIO pins. Below is the detailed pinout description:\n
      \n
      VCC: This pin provides the power supply voltage (typically 3.3V) to the module. Ensure you connect a stable power source to this pin.\n
      \n
      GND: Connect this pin to the ground of your circuit.\n
      \n
      EN: Also known as the Enable pin or the CHIP_EN pin, this pin is used to enable or disable the ESP 8266 module. To enable the module, connect this pin to the VCC pin.\n
      \n
      RST: The Reset pin is used to reset the ESP8266 module. To trigger a reset, connect this pin to the ground momentarily.\n
      \n
      GPIO0: This pin is a multipurpose input/output pin. It plays a critical role during the boot process, as it determines whether the module enters programming mode or normal operating mode. Connect this pin to either VCC or GND depending on your programming or operating mode requirements.\n
      \n
      GPIO2: Similar to GPIO0, this pin is also a multipurpose I/O pin. However, it does not have any specific boot-related functionality. You can use it for various purposes in your project.\n
      \n
      GPIO15: This pin is primarily used as a boot mode selector. It determines whether the module boots from the flash memory or an external source. Connect this pin to GND during normal operation.\n
      \n
      GPIO16: This pin is often used as an input or output pin, and it supports the deep-sleep mode functionality.\n
      \n
      UART (TX and RX): These pins are used for serial communication with other devices. TX (transmit) is used to send data, while RX (receive) is used to receive data.\n
      \n
      ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) Pins: Some ESP8266 modules feature one or more ADC pins, which allow you to read analog signals from external sensors or devices.\n
      \n
      SPI Pins: The ESP 8266 supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication. The SPI pins consist of CLK (clock), MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and CS (Chip Select). These pins enable communication with SPI devices like sensors, displays, and memory chips.\n
      \n
      I2C Pins: The ESP8266 also supports Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication. The I2C pins include SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line), allowing you to connect and communicate with I2C-compatible devices.

    +title: "ESP8266 Pinout : Comprehensive Guide to the GPIO Pins"
    +url: "https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/"
    +body: """
      The [ESP8266 pinout](https://azadtechhub.com/esp8266-pinout-a-guide-to-the-gpio-pins/) refers to the arrangement and functionality of the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins on the ESP8266 module. The ESP8266 is a popular and versatile Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller board widely used in the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems projects. Its GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are crucial for interfacing with external devices, sensors, and other components.\n
      \n
      In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the ESP8266 pinout, discussing each pin’s functionalities, specifications, and common use cases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this comprehensive guide will help you harness the full potential of the ESP 8266 GPIO pins. Understanding the ESP8266 pinout is essential for proper wiring and utilizing the GPIO pins to interface with external components and sensors in your ESP8266 projects.\n
      \n
      ESP8266 Pinout The ESP8266 module typically comes in various form factors, such as the ESP-01, ESP-12E, and ESP-12F, among others. While the number and arrangement of GPIO pins may vary slightly depending on the specific module, we will focus on the ESP-12E/F variant, which is commonly used and offers 17 GPIO pins. Below is the detailed pinout description:\n
      \n
      VCC: This pin provides the power supply voltage (typically 3.3V) to the module. Ensure you connect a stable power source to this pin.\n
      \n
      GND: Connect this pin to the ground of your circuit.\n
      \n
      EN: Also known as the Enable pin or the CHIP_EN pin, this pin is used to enable or disable the ESP 8266 module. To enable the module, connect this pin to the VCC pin.\n
      \n
      RST: The Reset pin is used to reset the ESP8266 module. To trigger a reset, connect this pin to the ground momentarily.\n
      \n
      GPIO0: This pin is a multipurpose input/output pin. It plays a critical role during the boot process, as it determines whether the module enters programming mode or normal operating mode. Connect this pin to either VCC or GND depending on your programming or operating mode requirements.\n
      \n
      GPIO2: Similar to GPIO0, this pin is also a multipurpose I/O pin. However, it does not have any specific boot-related functionality. You can use it for various purposes in your project.\n
      \n
      GPIO15: This pin is primarily used as a boot mode selector. It determines whether the module boots from the flash memory or an external source. Connect this pin to GND during normal operation.\n
      \n
      GPIO16: This pin is often used as an input or output pin, and it supports the deep-sleep mode functionality.\n
      \n
      UART (TX and RX): These pins are used for serial communication with other devices. TX (transmit) is used to send data, while RX (receive) is used to receive data.\n
      \n
      ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) Pins: Some ESP8266 modules feature one or more ADC pins, which allow you to read analog signals from external sensors or devices.\n
      \n
      SPI Pins: The ESP 8266 supports Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication. The SPI pins consist of CLK (clock), MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and CS (Chip Select). These pins enable communication with SPI devices like sensors, displays, and memory chips.\n
      \n
      I2C Pins: The ESP8266 also supports Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication. The I2C pins include SDA (Serial Data Line) and SCL (Serial Clock Line), allowing you to connect and communicate with I2C-compatible devices.

    +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
      \n
      Ok so I have the following -\n
      \n
      A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
      \n
      Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
      \n
      A 12v LED strip.\n
      \n
      The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
      \n
      1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
      2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
      \n
      Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
      \n
      I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
      \n
      Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
      \n
      Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
      \n
      Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

          It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
          \n
          The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
          \n
          Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
          \n
          Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
          \n
          Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
          \n
          I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
          \n
          If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
          \n
          Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

    +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
      \n
      Ok so I have the following -\n
      \n
      A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
      \n
      Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
      \n
      A 12v LED strip.\n
      \n
      The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
      \n
      1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
      2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
      \n
      Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
      \n
      I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
      \n
      Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
      \n
      Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
      \n
      Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

          It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
          \n
          The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
          \n
          Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
          \n
          Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
          \n
          Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
          \n
          I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
          \n
          If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
          \n
          Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
      \n
      Ok so I have the following -\n
      \n
      A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
      \n
      Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
      \n
      A 12v LED strip.\n
      \n
      The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
      \n
      1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
      2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
      \n
      Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
      \n
      I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
      \n
      Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
      \n
      Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
      \n
      Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

          It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
          \n
          The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
          \n
          Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
          \n
          Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
          \n
          Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
          \n
          I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
          \n
          If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
          \n
          Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

    +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
      \n
      Ok so I have the following -\n
      \n
      A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
      \n
      Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
      \n
      A 12v LED strip.\n
      \n
      The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
      \n
      1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
      2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
      \n
      Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
      \n
      I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
      \n
      Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
      \n
      Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
      \n
      Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

          It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
          \n
          The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
          \n
          Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
          \n
          Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
          \n
          Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
          \n
          I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
          \n
          If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
          \n
          Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

      \n
      A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
      \n
      Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
      \n
      A 12v LED strip.\n
      \n
      The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
      \n
      1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
      2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
      \n
      Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
      \n
      I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
      \n
      Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
      \n
      Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
      \n
      Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

          It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
          \n
          The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
          \n
          Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
          \n
          Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
          \n
          Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
          \n
          I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
          \n
          If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
          \n
          Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

    +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
      \n
      Ok so I have the following -\n
      \n
      A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
      \n
      Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
      \n
      A 12v LED strip.\n
      \n
      The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
      \n
      1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
      2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
      \n
      Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
      \n
      I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
      \n
      Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
      \n
      Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
      \n
      Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

          It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
          \n
          The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
          \n
          Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
          \n
          Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
          \n
          Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
          \n
          I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
          \n
          If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
          \n
          Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

      +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
        \n
        Ok so I have the following -\n
        \n
        A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
        \n
        Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
        \n
        A 12v LED strip.\n
        \n
        The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
        \n
        1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
        2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
        \n
        Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
        \n
        I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
        \n
        Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
        \n
        Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
        \n
        Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

      It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
      \n
      The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
      \n
      Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
      \n
      Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
      \n
      Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
      \n
      I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
      \n
      If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
      \n
      Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

      +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
        \n
        Ok so I have the following -\n
        \n
        A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
        \n
        Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
        \n
        A 12v LED strip.\n
        \n
        The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
        \n
        1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
        2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
        \n
        Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
        \n
        I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
        \n
        Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
        \n
        Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
        \n
        Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

      It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
      \n
      The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
      \n
      Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
      \n
      Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
      \n
      Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
      \n
      I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
      \n
      If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
      \n
      Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

      +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
        \n
        Ok so I have the following -\n
        \n
        A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
        \n
        Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
        \n
        A 12v LED strip.\n
        \n
        The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
        \n
        1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
        2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
        \n
        Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
        \n
        I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
        \n
        Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
        \n
        Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
        \n
        Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

      It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
      \n
      The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
      \n
      Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
      \n
      Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
      \n
      Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
      \n
      I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
      \n
      If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
      \n
      Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

        Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
        \n
        Ok so I have the following -\n
        \n
        A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
        \n
        Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
        \n
        A 12v LED strip.\n
        \n
        The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
        \n
        1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
        2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
        \n
        Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
        \n
        I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
        \n
        Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
        \n
        Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
        \n
        Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

      It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
      \n
      The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
      \n
      Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
      \n
      Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
      \n
      Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
      \n
      I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
      \n
      If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
      \n
      Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
        \n
        Ok so I have the following -\n
        \n
        A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
        \n
        Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
        \n
        A 12v LED strip.\n
        \n
        The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
        \n
        1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
        2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
        \n
        Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
        \n
        I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
        \n
        Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
        \n
        Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
        \n
        Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

      It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
      \n
      The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
      \n
      Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
      \n
      Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
      \n
      Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
      \n
      I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
      \n
      If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
      \n
      Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!

      +title: "boosted 18650 circuit - parallel or series? Or doesn't matter?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Hi, I'm new here (never used this entire platform before, but as the askElectronics reddit is down I thought i'd follow the trail to lemmy and see what's what). Hopefully this works!\n
        \n
        Ok so I have the following -\n
        \n
        A variable boost converter [This](https://www.componentsinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mt3608-module-pinout-specs.jpg) - set to 12v output.\n
        \n
        Two sets of 2x 18650 batteries\n
        \n
        A 12v LED strip.\n
        \n
        The two circuits I'm sanity checking -\n
        \n
        1. Two 18650s in series, outputting about 8v, going to the boost (which ups it to 12v) and lighting up the 12v LEDS.\n
        2. Two 18650s in parallel, outputting about 4v, going to the same boost (which still ups it to 12v, so that's working fine and seems to be within its working range), lighting up the 12v LEDs.\n
        \n
        Question I wanted to check - Far as I am aware, both of these circuits should be fine and do the job. And I'm aware of how series vs parallel usually works (eg. double the voltage, vs double the capacity). However I've never used them with a voltage booster that sets things to a fixed output voltage.\n
        \n
        I am assuming that the way the voltage booster works, means it will 'drain' the parallel circuit twice as fast as the series circuit. And so both will end up running the LEDs for the same amount of time. This sounds right in my head but wanted to confirm before I soldered all my connections.\n
        \n
        Also wondered if, in this scenario, the general recommendation is to go with the parallel or the series circuit. I wonder if the series might have less losses through the boost circuit through heating etc, but I was just guessing.\n
        \n
        Thanks! Long first lemmy post haha. > Unfortunately after posting this I discovered the TP4056 board won’t charge 18650s in series, only in parallel!\n
        \n
        Edit: While it seems that running the cells in series would be more efficient, I have the issue that I recharge them using a TP4056 board, and they are only compatible with charging cells in parallel and not in series!

      It’s great to see you exploring different platforms for your electronics inquiries! Regarding your setup with the variable boost converter, 18650 batteries, and the 12V LED strip, your analysis is on the right track.\n
      \n
      The boost converter indeed stabilizes the output at 12V irrespective of the input voltage. In your scenarios, both setups - series and parallel configurations of the 18650 batteries - should effectively power the LEDs at 12V through the boost converter.\n
      \n
      Your assumption about the parallel circuit draining faster than the series circuit due to the boost converter’s behavior is accurate. Since the parallel circuit offers half the voltage but doubles the current capacity, it will indeed discharge quicker compared to the series circuit.\n
      \n
      Concerning the choice between parallel and series setups, there are trade-offs. The series circuit might experience fewer losses through the boost circuit due to its higher efficiency with higher input voltages, potentially reducing heating issues. However, as you mentioned, charging cells in series isn’t feasible with your TP4056 board, limiting your option to the parallel configuration.\n
      \n
      Given your charging constraints, sticking to the parallel configuration seems more practical for recharging purposes. While it may drain faster, using the parallel setup is compatible with your charging board and allows for easier recharging.\n
      \n
      I noticed your edit about the TP4056 board being compatible only with parallel charging, which aligns with your previous discovery. It’s a crucial factor to consider in maintaining the functionality and longevity of your battery setup.\n
      \n
      If you want more insights on the efficiency differences or additional alternatives for charging in series, I have an informative post on [converter types](https://azadtechhub.com/dc-to-dc-converter-types-important-concepts/) that delves into various setups and charging considerations, which might offer further clarification for your project.\n
      \n
      Feel free to explore and let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to dive deeper into!
