TS100 is my favorite mobile soldering iron.<br>It is small, handy and powerful but 6S LiPo battery which I was using to power this is not handy at all.<br>So I made this simple and cheap hack to power TS100 using power bank.<br><br>You need:<br>USB-C PD Trigger: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000124529027.html">https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000124529027.html</a><br>DC CONNECTOR: 5.5mm x 2.5mm<br>Cable: USB-C USB-C<br>Power Bank: BASEUS POWER-BANK 20000 mAh (15V 20W)<br><br>You can use a better power bank with 20V PD and get more power but I already have this cheap Baseus one with 15V PD and it works very well.<br>You can also use wall charger with PD.<br>USB-C PD Trigger is 2.5$ adapter that triggers higher available power mode form power bank.<br>Use regular USB-C cable to connect it together. (Thunderbolt 3 cable is also OK)
How can they deliver 20A (or more !) in USB connectors ?
