Arduino based Battery Over Discharge Protection Circuit
In this post, I will show how to construct a over discharge protection circuit for 12v battery using Arduino which can protect 12V SLA battery against over discharge, and also protect the connected load from over voltage in case of overcharged battery is connected. Understanding Battery Charge/Discharge Rates All the batteries have natural decline, […]
Ni-Cd Low Battery Monitor Circuit using Lambda Diode
The main feature of this lambda-diode low battery indicator for Ni-Cd batteries is that, the circuit itself consumes almost zero current, until the set low threshold level is reached and the indicator LED is illuminated. This feature makes the circuit very suitable for many low voltage battery operated systems, like radios, watches, timers, alarms, remote […]
