🔰 Hello, friends and non-friends!
Since the orcs won't calm down and continue to ruin our lives, we are continuing the Charger project series — this time a compact and maximally convenient Type-C strong and inexpensive (Approximately 60 UAH component cost).
It is designed for those who have FPV batteries or any other batteries on hand, so they can power their gadgets even when there are power issues.
Simply connect a battery — and you can charge your phone, flashlight, camera, or any other device via USB QC4.0.
May this small device help you stay connected —
because we cannot be broken, we are heading for Victory. ⚡
🔋 XT60 → USB QC4.0 Charger Adapter (Compact Version)
This adapter converts an FPV or LiPo battery with an XT60 connector into a portable QC4.0 fast charger.
It is designed to power smartphones, cameras, walkie-talkies, flashlights, soldering irons, laptops, or other devices directly from field batteries.
The adapter's design is engineered to be printed without supports, compact, lightweight, and easy to assemble.
⚙️ Design Features
- Reliable XT60 connector retainer, which can be secured with a screw or a drop of glue through the service hole.
- The internal space is designed for a QC4.0 Buck Converter (6–30V → 5/9/12V).
- Metal loop for a keychain: a furniture nail (steel pin Ø1–2 mm) is used, which serves as an axle for a ring or carabiner.
This solution is made instead of a plastic loop, which can break under load over time.

⚠️ Warning
FPV/LiPo batteries do not have built-in over-discharge protection (BMS).
After connection, monitor the voltage level — too long use can over-discharge the battery and render it unusable.
✅ The current voltage is displayed on the screen (or external voltmeter) — do not allow it to drop below 3.2 V per cell.
Minimum safe voltage for LiPo batteries:
| Configuration | Number of cells | Minimum per cell | Minimum total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔋 3S | 3 | 3.2 V | 9.6 V |
| 🔋 4S | 4 | 3.2 V | 12.8 V |
| 🔋 5S | 5 | 3.2 V | 16.0 V |
| 🔋 6S | 6 | 3.2 V | 19.2 V |
💡 Tip: for greater LiPo longevity, do not discharge below 3.3 V/cell.
You can use a LiPo-Alarm or a small voltmeter to monitor the charge level.
