The post describes simple battery charge monitor circuits or battery status indicator circuits using 4 LEDs to 10 LEDs, and using ICs like LM324 and LM3915. The first design is a 4 LED voltage monitor circuit using the versatile IC LM324. The idea was requested by Ms. Piyali. Technical Specifications I’ve a project, if you […]

Low Battery and Overload Protection Circuit for Inverters
A very simple low battery cut-off and overload protection circuit has been explained here. The figure shows a very simple circuit set up which performs the function of an overload sensor and also as an under voltage detector. In both the cases the circuit trips the relay for protecting the output under the above conditions. […]
Potato Battery Circuit – Electricity from Vegetables and Fruits
In this article I have explained how vegetables can be used for making an organic battery, through an example of a practical potato battery experiment. Alessandro Volta was probably the first man to devise the method and idea of generating electricity from electrolytic solutions. According to his concept, two dissimilar metals when brought in contact […]
Battery Low Voltage Alarm Circuit
Despite its simplicity, the Battery Low Voltage Alarm circuit has a very important function. It forewarns you of approaching battery failure so that you may run to the store and get replacement cells before your equipment stops functioning entirely. Because of its compact size and low current need, it may be integrated into the devices […]
Build this Mosquito Bat without Battery
This simple homemade mosquito swatter bat neither requires a circuit nor a battery for the operation. The entire design works using a single high voltage capacitor and through quick charging from mains AC socket. (Designed by me) Introduction In a few of my earlier posts I have discussed how to make mosquito zappers using the […]
Emergency Incubator Heater Circuit with Battery Charger
In this post I have explained a 12V power supply with battery charger circuit which can be implemented as an uninterruptible emergency heating system for incubator chambers. The idea was requested by Mr. Arya. Technical Specifications I’ve read all your good article, but can you help me to design an Linear PSU that provide 12 […]
