In this post I have explained how to build and use a 18V battery charger circuit for a cordless drill machine. The idea was requested by Mr. Chibuzo. Technical Specifications The Design Whether it’s a lead acid battery, a Ni-Cd or a Li-ion, this multipurpose battery charger shown below can be applied for any of […]
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. […]
