Teardown of a 5V USB LED light bar with touch sensor switch. Also, because the weather seems to have finally turned, thinking about a 5V solar power system for the Mediterranean workshop.

what power bank is that ?would love one, thank you
They probably use the same instruction sheet for those with or without an included AC to USB adapter. The adapter would be 110 to 220 vac and a 10ma idle current.
what is that thing you are pointing with.
Maybe it's anodized aluminium (by the colour of it, it certainly looks like it is), which has a purposely grown aluminium oxide layer, which is an isolator, so no danger of a short-circuit. You should have tested it with the DMM.
QD188 will only charge with 5V if you could supply 3A. Anything lower wouldn't charge it.The manual also indicates (I have someone translated for me) that in "Aut"mode, you need to have at least 300mA draw otherwise it will shutdown, so, if you have a low amp-draw device you need to change to "not" mode.
One other interesting thing about this power bank is the charging pattern. As far as I know most li-ion battery chargers charge with CV and CC then with low current toward the end but when charging this power bank, the voltage start somewhere around 12V (if you charge it from zero percent), then slowly increase the voltage until it hit 18V max (FIY, the manual said it required 18V-20V to charge).
I don't know if mine is a sour lemon, the efficiency of this power bank is horrible. I get about 40% for 5V and 30% for 12V when charging devices. I might get another one just for comparison.
What is the "Med workshop"?
We can trade places, It is far too warm again here in Germany…
You could have solder the spring and slide both the cover and the board into the aluminium profile at the same time. And solder on the end so it doesn't slide out.
Taking battery's to the med might be a problem
How can the touch sensor work without actually touching it?
Oh yeah, the TS100 is a really fantastic soldering iron.
And you could power it with a 12v DC jack!
Soldering with your solar panel array, wouldn't that be wonderful?
If you like to charge batteries that much then buy an ev you will probably then get orgazm charging it 😀
This power bank should be perfect for a TS100 soldering iron.
