Car Battery Warmer Circuit
The main objective of this car battery warmer circuit is to make sure that even in extremely low temperatures, the battery can be charged and discharged satisfactory. The design idea was requested by Mr. Elias, as I have explained below. Design Request and Specifications My plan is to control a silicone heat pad that runs […]
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 […]

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 […]
