A sleek, ultra-compact, and functional Dual 18650 Battery Charger designed with a focus on minimalism and clean cable management.
Unlike standard series/parallel holders, this design features two completely independent TP4056 charging channels, allowing you to charge two 18650 batteries individually without cross-interference or balance issues.
✨ Key Features

🔌 Wiring & Assembly Notes
Power Input: Wire the USB power input of both TP4056 modules in parallel so both boards receive power from the main Type-C port / input terminals.
Cable Management: Route the positive and negative leads from the battery holders through the integrated internal channels before soldering them to the respective TP4056 output pads (B+ / B-).
Power Supply: Make sure to plug the charger into a USB adapter capable of delivering at least 5V / 2A to ensure maximum charging speed on both slots simultaneously.
