Wouldn’t a button connected to a heating coil be a fire hazard? Is there no automatic shut-off based on temperature? If you add enough safety features, it might end up costing about the same as an embedded SoC.
All it would need is a thermal fuse/cutoff, like those in portable heating appliances (air fryers, grills etc.). I wonder what’s needed to include a 10 second on & 30 seconds disabled timer, maybe it’s cheaper
i disagree with the single transistor. overcharge prevention requires something more (i am not a batteriologist don’t ask me what. i’d do it with a tesla coil because that’d look cooler)
Huh. The disposables I am occasionally “forced” to get (put it in a 510 thread gramma) have charging ports. I usually have to charge once or twice to get through the full gram.
That being said, the good local dispo just rebranded and gave me a bunch of 510 batteries with the old name on them. These batteries are fantastic and look about the same size as the server in the article
There is a little more to it, pressing the button 5 times turns it on and off. Three times often lets one cycle through power settings. But yeah, anything more than a very minimal programming is frankly suspicious.
It could be a lot is used to get the charge right idk.
A vape is a battery connected to a button connected to a heating coil. You might want a single transistor. You don’t need a software platform.

555 timer and a transistor or two, I think?
They also do some BMS stuff, and some support limited graphics and UI. Depedns on the moddle
An RC circuit charging up to some threshold voltage. You can even make it adjustable with a variable resistor.

I was assuming it was disposable (as so many are) and therefore no charging circuit.
