Unlike dry batteries, whose stored electrical energy can only be used once, accumulators have the immense advantage of reversibility, which translates into the possibility of a series of charge/discharge cycles. This means that they can undergo a series of charge/discharge cycles. They are found in applications that may require more power, such as starting the […]

Types of Batteries Explained [NiCd, NiMH, Lead Acid, Li-Ion]
In this post I have explained the main types of batteries that are widely used in today’s world for almost all important applications, ranging from cars, automobiles mobile phones, airplanes, industries, satellites to name a few. The Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) Battery Fundamentally, the NiCd battery adopts fast charging as opposed to slow charging and employs […]
Make this Crystal Radio Set Circuit using No Batteries
A crystal radio circuit is probably the simplest form of radio that uses hardly any electronic components, and needs absolutely no external power for the operations. Crystal Radio Concept The only downside of this radio concept is the requirement of a very long antenna and a deep earthing, therefore this unit is not something which […]
Using Treadmill Exercise Bike to Charge Batteries
In this post I have explained how to use an exercise bike or a treadmill for charging a battery through a simple shunt regulator circuit with full charge cut-off feature. The idea was proposed by Mr. Peter Jaffe. Exercise Bike for Charging Battery I have been following your circuit tips for a little while. Very […]
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 […]
Cell Phone Emergency Charger Pack using Ni-Cd Batteries
In this post I have explained the construction of a simple emergency charger pack using Nicket Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries for your cellphones and smart phones for emergency charging of your cellphone, so that next time you are never stuck on a highway with a full discharged dead cellphone battery. Circuit Concept It often happens, our […]
