Introducing The Parky PowerBank Mod

[Parky50]

Yup… Parky is at it again !!!

Here is a super cool multi-voltage device that I made from a Power Pal All-in-One Powerbank Rechargeable Battery that was on sale @ buy.com. It has a selectable output voltage of 5V, 6V or 8.4V and two 18650 batteries on board !!! Much like the Parky Tekkeon Mod it is pretty tight to work within the boundaries of this case as well. The main advantage to the Parky PowerBank Mod is selectable output voltage mode. I surgically removed the output power jack and tapped on the 3 connectors that were soldered to the main circuit board from those 3 points. What is tricky on this one is that the power jack connector was a “normally closed” circuit until the plug was pushed in the connector. I had to improvised this circuit by adding a “normally closed” push switch right next to the “normally opened” switch that is connected to the 510 battery connector to activate the atty. I came up with the idea to tie in the two switch buttons together creating a one heck of a cool "super switch assembly"... with a very comfortable and easy to activate "button bar" !!! I also had to relocate one of the capacitors to accommodate a place for the 510 connector as well. All in all…. It’s FRIKEN AWESOME !!! The adjustable output is right on par as tested several times with the multi-meter and you sure can tell a difference between the 5V and 6V. To use the 8.4V option one would need a High Voltage Atty. I’ll throw it up in to the 6V mode when the occasional “NIC FIT” shows up, but normally the 5V mode is truly the sweet spot for all day vaping.

As always... here's some Eye Candy for ya !!!

Battery test...

LED's light up when the "Vape On" button is pushed...

Cheer's for now !!!

That is a truly nice mod. Like the 18650 batteries. Easy to replace when they wear out. Exceptional work.

This is friggen awesome. Nice work can I commission you to make me one? Thanks for posting Danno

Very cool. The battery strength indicator is pretty crucial. I have been toying with the idea of building a battery indicator circuit for some mods, but have not gotten around to it yet.

Thanks for the comments !!!

So far so good... Vaping like a champ !!!

These types of devices always seem to have limited output, usually a bit low for Joye atties. Were you able to bypass the current restrictions?

* Output: 5V/1.5A, 6V/1.2A, 8.4V/0.80A

Hey Willy...

I did not bypass any current restrictions on the amperage.
I'm running Joye 510's and they are KICKIN' IT OUT !!!

I can definitely tell a difference between the 5v and 6v with
no ill effect of starving for voltage/amperage in the slightest...

FYI...

Killer deal going on here for these baby's....
