    Hello !!!
    I have a question about bluetooth speaker power supply. I was inspired to make my own speaker, I searched on forum and youtube and found a movie (I added the title to the attachment because I can't add links to posts yet)

    I found this video and I want to do something similar but I would like to change a few things and now I have some questions.
    1. Can I put batteries into the basket instead of the modeling battery so that this 12V comes out and connect it all in series to the amplifier
    And the second question is whether instead of this stabilizer I can use such an inverter from the charger to the cigarette lighter there I have 2x USB
    And I also wanted to ask if this question batteries are suitable or better to give it a rest (photo of the battery also in the attachment)
    This will be my first project of this type so I don't know anything about it, but there are willingness, thanks in advance for any help.
    Please, if you have any other suggestions please write :D

    You can if:
    - the batteries have adequate current capacity
    - you will charge them with an external charger after removing from the basket
    Note that batteries after PLN 2 in many cases are only suitable for the bucket with the words "Waste treatment".

    In principle, only a converter will be suitable for battery operation, a linear stabilizer is a conceptual error - wasting limited energy.
    As above - check if the converter will "leak" in current.

    What is "pyt"?

    In that case, what do you think will be best to power such a speaker so that I do not have to remove the battery every time?
    I wanted to use 2x15w speakers but I need a big battery to play a few hours.

    I obtain 18650 cells from "broken" laptop batteries. After dismantling several batteries, it turned out that a maximum of two out of six cells are useless or all functional and electronics free. I power them with a demanding SSTC and metal detector. They really do well. Charging off device.

    Either a single lithium cell or a pack of lithium cells connected in parallel. Or the cells connected in series with the appropriate balancer added.

    What amplifier?

    This information says nothing about energy demand. It is important what power and in what class (AB or D) you plan to use the amplifier. This amplifier draws power and the speakers can have even 1000W - at most they will not play their full potential.
    Enter the amplifier model and speaker resistance.

    2x15W PAM 8610 class D amplifier
    Added after 2 [minutes]:
    And could the battery from the old tablet be used? I mean, I don't have to take it out every time I want to charge the speaker.
    The battery from the tablet has 5V / 2A. 4000mAh

    What speaker impedance and what voltage do you want to power the PAM with?

    Certainly not enough, because there are one or two lithium cells.

    Each 15 W amplifier in the channel must be supplied with at least voltage = 12V.
    Less voltage means less power. It would be possible to give a converter increasing the voltage, but this in turn is a larger current (the product of U * I must be preserved - plus losses), and therefore shorter operation ...

    These are two pieces of lithium cells 3.6V each, so they will give 7.2V in series.

    Yes, but is it enough to power two 50W speakers?

    I doubt it ...
    So I will ask - how do I write so that the meaning of post # 7 arrives?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around building a DIY Bluetooth speaker, focusing on power supply options, specifically the use of 12V batteries, amplifiers, and inverters. The user inquires about substituting a modeling battery with standard batteries and whether an inverter from a car charger can replace a stabilizer. Responses emphasize the importance of using batteries with adequate current capacity and suggest using lithium-ion cells, particularly 18650 cells, for their efficiency. The PAM 8610 class D amplifier is mentioned, with discussions on the required voltage and power for optimal performance. Concerns about using a tablet battery (5V/2A) for powering the speaker are raised, with suggestions that it may not provide sufficient power for higher wattage speakers. The conversation highlights the need for proper voltage and current management when selecting components for the speaker project.
