I thought I remembered it right, the stock firmware [has the power setting from 16W to 24W](https://youtu.be/_Z9es-D9_8g?t=701), even though QC3 only supports up to 18W. But it would indicate the...

@andersvos Oh boy! Has the same features and double the capacity of the $16 power bank! So, quick math, 16*2 = 32, how much is the Omni again? > 120VAC...

Mostly because only hobby LiPo batteries need a cutoff voltage protection on the device - if you use something else, it either doesn't matter (AA & NiMH), or you really...

@ajanulis >I'd really like to have an option to use Dewalt 18V battery for soldering on the field. Go ahead, they are 5S Li-Ion batteries with integrated protection circuitry, you...

@Ajanulis > And not, Dewalt 20V is not 6S. Yeah, [they are misleading marketing wank](http://toolguyd.com/dewalt-20v-max-18v/) and exactly the same 5S Li-ion batteries but they market the maximum voltage instead of...

@ajanulis, yup: https://syonyk.blogspot.fi/2017/04/dewalt-20v-max-60ah-pack-teardown.html Literally from the same blog. He said "new Dewalt packs". Not that it matters, the LGDAHB41865 used in the older packs also has a low voltage limit...

I'm honestly pretty shocked that they don't have any protection in the pack whatsoever, I would have at least expected a simple 12.5V total voltage cutoff. Especially as the extensive...

@Syonyk, I totally agree on not letting them drain to 2.5v repeatedly, that is their 'minimum safe voltage' and in no way healthy for them in the long run. On...

Why use QC2 (which has a maximum output of 20W), when USB-PD could provide all the way up to a 100W. Guess they just thought there are more QC2 compatible...

@alexnif007 You need the resistors in the datalines to be able to pull them to 3.3V for the QC identification (which I'm pretty sure the TS100 lacks), so you would...
