Koyot Dual car charger 2.4A

DSC_0303

Official specifications: I got it from Aliexpress dealer: Miss shen Wonderful Store

DSC_0302

No fancy box for this charge, just an envelope and a plastic bag.

Measurements

Load%20sweep%2011.6V%201A

The 1A output can deliver about 2.8A

Load%20sweep%2011.6V%202.4A

The 2.4A output can also deliver about 2.8A

Load%20sweep%2011.6V

And when run in parallel the maximum current is also 2.8A

Load%20sweep%2014.6V
Load%20sweep%2024.0V

Higher input voltage do not change it.

Voltage%20sweep%202.0A%20input%20current

Voltage%20sweep%202.0A

The output can maintain voltage until about 7V, also note the efficiency goes down when used at 24V

No%20load%20voltage%20sweep

The chargers own current consumption varies with voltage.

Load%20test%202.4A

There was no problem running 1 hour with full load (2.4A).
The temperature photos below are taken between 30 minutes and 60 minutes into the one hour test.

10ohm

At 0.5A the noise is 33mV rms and 170mVpp

5ohm

At 1A the noise is 39mV rms and 191mVpp

2ohm

At 2.5A the noise is 68mV rms and 269mVpp



Tear down

DSC_2337

I could not pull or unscrew the metal and decided to cut.

DSC_2338

The back has some heat shrink on it.

DSC_2339

At the input is a "fuse" in the form of a 0ohm resistor, the voltage converter is a single IC (U1: marked VS2886) and it must have build in synchronous rectification (I do not see any diode).

DSC_2340

There is no parts on this side of the circuit board.

DSC_2345

The front circuit board has resistors for coding the two usb output, but there is also an empty space for a auto coding IC

Being a 12V device there is no need to test with high voltages.



Conclusion

This charger works, but is not perfect. The power is enough for one high power output, not for two. Why is a 2.4A output coded for 2.1A, using a auto coding chip for both outputs would have been nicer.
