The difference with the 9th version is I’d had USB C-PD changing, and you can charge it with USB C-PD also.
So if I read it correctly it can charge at 60 Watts, and charge other things like the iPad Pro and iPhone X at 29 Watts and maybe faster?
I forgot I bought the 8th version until recently, I’m lacking to move and ran across it.
I build it tonight, but noticed it has firmware 2.03 (still English).
Does anyone have firmware 3.0 or higher for the version 8 (4 cell) or and manual of calibrating it for the cell I installed?
I’m moving soon, and I bought one of those thermal electric portable refrigerators. The problem is running it fromthe car power or pulls 33 Watts and gets way to cold for my insulin and the 10 hour drive ahead of me. It also runs off USB and is the perfect temperature to not free thousands of $$$ of insulin.
I want to get the new firmware so I can have better control. I can have the battery charge a little while still powering this portable fridge. Then the battery should have enough kf a charge when I stop for breaks or food to keep the fridge running since the car power outlet turns off when the car shuts off.
Once I get back to the car in an hour or so and start it, the battery can keep rinnkng the fridge while also topping off the charge for the next stop.
But to have this control I need the firmware 3.?
My other option was to program and Arduino micro and control the current n/off and temperature regulate the fridge. But I don’t have the time, I packed the Arduino stuff already. But when I went to pack the battery bench I found the gen 8 again and still didn’t pack the spot welder. So I put it together tonight with 4 new Sanyo 18650GA 3500mA cells.
Seems to work good, default setting are 13,600 and tat acceptable for these cells. Once calibrated I should get s little more from them.
Once firmware is updated I will also have more control over the charge cutoff and other features. Despite missing USB C-PD I would like it to last and set the max voltage charger to 4.10 volts per cell. Besides, I already have a car power adapter to USB C-PD that does 29 Watts for other devices.
If you can post the firmware I would appreciate it. I have the programmer already and know I firmware 2.p3 doesn’t update over the micro USB port, but I know how to program it, and understand I might need to change the language back to English.
I think version 3.0 has English built in, I just need to navigate the menu to select it.
Thanks,
Scott
