This video offers an engaging tutorial on how to construct a USB Type-C PD Powerbank using an Aliexpress PCB. The host begins by explaining the complicated aspects of programming the PD protocol, managing battery packs, and incorporating safety features. Instead of starting from scratch, they've decided to create a powerbank by finding an existing IC (the IP5328P) and testing a PCB already built around it. Thorough testing of the PCB both for charging and discharging reveals satisfying results overall.
 

The host then moves forward with creating the power bank, engaging viewers further by cautioning them about connecting different kinds of batteries together. Using friendly language and detailed diagrams, they walk the audience through the process, concluding with the creation of a custom 3D-printed enclosure. The well-explained processes, combined with the practical applications and comprehensive testing, make this video a fantastic resource for those interested in DIY electronics.
