Motorcycle Low Battery Over Discharge Protector Circuit
A simple motorcycle battery over discharge protector circuit is explained in the following post. The circuit will prevent the battery from over-discharging by the motorcycle headlamp whenever the mo-bike alternator is not enabled or is idling in the neutral mode in which case the battery is normally subjected to excess loads via the headlamp bulb. […]
Arduino Mains Failure Battery Backup Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple mains failure backup circuit for providing Arduino boards an uninterruptible supply during such situations. The idea was requested by Mr. Fredrik. Technical Specifications This blog gave me a lot of interesting information. Especially the power supply circuit with battery backup part. The reason for this is that […]
9 Simple Solar Battery Charger Circuits
Simple solar charger circuits are small devices which allow you to charge a battery quickly and cheaply, through solar panels. A simple solar charger circuit must have 3 basic features built-in: In this post I will comprehensively explain nine best yet simple solar battery charger circuits using the IC LM338, transistors, MOSFET, buck converter, etc […]
IC 555 Low Battery Indicator Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple low battery indicator circuit using the IC 555 and a few resistors only. Circuit Concept Many electronic circuits such as emergency lights, battery chargers, UPS systems, flashlights etc essentially require a low battery indication feature in order to avoid over discharge of the involved battery. An over discharge could mean a permanent damage […]
Charging Battery with Piezo Mat Circuit
In this post I have explained a method to harvest free electricity from a piezo embedded mat by walking on it, and try to investigate how this energy may be used for charging a small battery. Normally a human body carries a huge amount of energy which simply gets wasted in our regular day to […]
