ABSTRACT
Power banks are one of the needs to have product these days. But even power banks need
charging. For that, one needs to get the power bank charged in a power plug. This is not
always possible when travelling, so here we design a solar powered power bank. The solar
power bank integrates solar charging with efficient battery support and wireless charging
to provide a multi-functional unique power bank product. The device is able to self-charge
anywhere during day time so that the user never runs out of power. The solar power bank
integrates lithium battery pack with solar panels battery protection and wireless charging
coils using dc power boosters and charge controllers to provide for a feature packed power
bank. This solar panels are used with charge controllers to charge the battery pack using
charging circuitry. The power bank makes use of LED for indication of current battery
capacity. An Adapter can also be used to directly charge the power bank using AC power
if needed. The battery pack power is used to power the induction coil that is mounted on
the top of the power bank. When mobile phone is placed over the top of the power bank an
electromagnetic induction effect induces electric current in the coil mounted in the phone
back. This is used to charge the phone wirelessly. Key words: Solar panels, LED, Li-ion
battery, wireless charging
