Description
These power banks are made from 100% recycled lithium-ion batteries, that come from old laptop battery packs.
Do your part in helping the environment and get your own Eco-Charge power bank.
To date, we have re-used over 100kg of lithium batteries.
Eco-Charge power banks are perfect for powering small Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects, as they do not have a minimum current draw required to stay on. With a majority of the commercial power banks that I have tested, if there is less than roughly 200mA of current drawn, they will turn off after a couple seconds – not the case with these batteries.
This is the fully assembled version, if you want to build your own, you can buy the kit.
I started this product as part of a Junior Achievement program, so a huge thanks to Eco-Charge (a JA company) for letting me continue to sell these power banks!
More information on these power banks can be seen on the projects section here.
