Bot Shop - Mini bench power supply product review

Introduction and Product Overview

In this section, the presenter introduces the new product and provides an overview of its features.

• The presenter is excited to introduce a new product.

• The product is a small board with various functionalities.

• The presenter will demonstrate the functionality using a pre-built system.

• The system includes a battery pack and a bench load resistor.

Connectors and Power Options

This section focuses on the connectors and power options available on the board.

• There are two connectors on the left-hand side of the board: a DC jack terminal and screw terminals.

• The DC jack terminal is recommended for lower amperage applications due to easy connectivity.

• The screw terminals are suitable for higher amperage applications with thicker wires.

• On the output side, there is another screw terminal for higher amperage applications.

• It's important to note that the USB port does not output 5 volts by default. Adjustments need to be made before connecting devices.

Display and Programming Buttons

This section discusses the display and programming buttons on the board.

• The board features a nice little display with good contrast from any angle.

• Four programming buttons are provided for adjusting settings on the board.

• These buttons can be used to set voltage, current, and other parameters.

• Holding down certain buttons allows access to additional settings such as voltage protection and current limiting.

Voltage Range and Settings

This section covers the voltage range of the board and how to adjust settings related to voltage.

• The input voltage range of the board is from 2 volts up to 36 volts.

• The output voltage range is from 2.5 volts up to 35 volts, but it's recommended not to exceed 32 volts.

• The board can be used to charge a 24-volt battery pack.

• The display shows the current voltage setting and allows switching between constant voltage and constant current modes.

Current Limiting and Additional Settings

This section explains how to set current limiting and access additional settings on the board.

• Holding down the set button for a few seconds allows adjusting the current limit.

• Current limiting is useful for charging batteries without exceeding safe limits.

• Holding down the set button for a longer duration opens up a menu with other settings.

• Lower voltage protection can be set to prevent draining too much capacity from batteries.

• Overvoltage protection and overcurrent protection are also available as adjustable settings.

Conclusion

In this final section, the presenter concludes the video by summarizing the key features of the board.

• The board offers various power options, including DC jack terminal and screw terminals.

• It has a user-friendly display and programming buttons for easy adjustment of settings.

• The voltage range allows for versatile applications, including charging different battery packs.

• Current limiting and additional settings provide safety measures for various scenarios.

New Section

The speaker discusses the functionality and capabilities of a power supply, emphasizing the importance of not exceeding 51 Watts to avoid over-amp and overpower issues. The power supply offers various features, including a built-in timer for setting hourly projections and the ability to calculate power consumption.

Power Supply Features

• The power supply has a maximum limit of 51 Watts to prevent over-amp and overpower situations.

• It is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its versatile output options.

• A built-in timer allows users to set hourly projections for system operation.

• By pressing the set button, users can view real-time information about wattage, amperage, and watt-hour usage. This feature helps in calculating battery pack size and determining power supply requirements.

Timestamps are provided in seconds (e.g., t=388s)
