Discuss How to wire these mini speakers? in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

So I was able to make the speakers work yesterday, everything seems to be working good, the battery didn’t get hot at all or anything 😁 thanks for all the help for real, now I’m just not sure if that 3 pin(once wired) led will tell me when the lithium battery is charged or not 🥴
 
Glad to hear it's working! Well done!

On the matter of knowing whether the battery is charged or not from the dual led, I'm sure you know the dual LED's you've got can't do anything like that on their own.
The 4056 charging board has the necessary circuitry and two LED's on it that do this.
What the constructor in the video did for his build was to remove the surface mount LED's from the board, and then wire the pads to the dual LED that he then mounted on the side of his speaker cabinet.

To use your dual LED, you will need to unsolder the surface mount LED's from the board and attach, either directly or via flying leads, the 3-wire diode. I'm thinking the two middle pads may be connected together, and that may then be suitable for the centre wire of your LED, and then connect the other red and blue leads (the right way round!). I think you'll have to prod around with your meter on the ohms range to establish which way round the surface mount LED's are currently on the board (ie which is anode and which is cathode), and if my guess above is correct!.

I haven't found enough info to be able to sketch it for you with any certainty!. I'm afraid I'll leave it with you, and using what you see and can measure about diode polarity's on your 4056 board, hopefully you can get your red/blue diode connected up! Best of luck.

I don’t really understand rn, maybe if I keep reading your message lol 🤔 but I didn’t know the board has its own leds I’ll try using those for now, gotta start working on the enclosure anyway
 
I'll leave you to consider wot I rote.
To use your 3-pin led, you will have to remove the two on the board, labelled 'red light' and 'blue light' in the pic above.
But don't take them off the board before finding out which way round they are connected.
So learn how to check diodes with a multimeter!
I know, I know, you just want to get on and make things, but you will need to get your head round stuff on the way too!

Ok I think I understand now, I’ll try to find out how to check them, thanks 😁
