How to Recharge Dead Batteries
In this post I have explained how to recharge and use bad, defective discarded batteries using an innovative battery charging process invented by John Bedini. Lead acid batteries can sometimes be a problem to get rid of. They can also be high priced to upgrade. In case discarded in the wrong way, they have a […]
Solar Water Heater Circuit with Battery Charger
The proposed solar water heater with battery charger controller circuit explains a simple method of utilizing the excess solar energy from a solar panel for heating water in water tanks or swimming pools or poultry egg chambers. Normally the circuit also functions like an automatic solar battery charger, and simultaneously powers domestic electrical appliances. Understanding Solar Charging […]
4 Simple Li-Ion Battery Charger Circuits – Using LM317, NE555, LM324
In this post I have explained a four simple yet a safe way of charging a Li-ion battery using ordinary ICs like LM317 and NE555 which can be easily constructed at home by any new hobbyist. Although Li-Ion batteries are vulnerable devices, these can be charged through simpler circuits if the charging rate does not […]
Single Transformer Inverter/Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build an innovative inverter circuit with a single transformer that works both as an inverter and a battery charger transformer, I have explained the details from the following discussion. The Circuit Objective Though you may find many inverters having an integral battery charger, the section will mostly […]
