Self Regulating Battery Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained how a neat little self regulating automatic battery charger circuit can be made using just two inexpensive transistors. This circuit will automatically regulate the charging supply to the battery depending on its charge level, by switching the input supply ON and OFF periodically. How it Works As can be […]
Lead Acid Battery Charger Circuits
The lead acid battery charger circuits I have explained in this article can be used for charging all types of lead acid batteries at a specified rate. This article explains a few lead acid battery charger circuits with automatic over charge, and low discharge cut off. All these designs are thoroughly tested and can be […]
4 Simple Battery Desulfator Circuits Explored
In this article we investigate 4 simple yet powerful battery desulfator circuits, which can be used to effectively remove and prevent desulfation in lead acid batteries. The first method uses PWM pulses from a 555 PWM circuit, the second method implements an ordinary bridge rectifier for implementing a 100 Hz frequency based desulfation, the 3rd […]
How to Calculate Solar Panel, Inverter, Battery Parameters
In this post I have explained through calculations how to select and interface the solar panel, inverter and charger controller combinations correctly, for acquiring the most optimal results from the set up. Calculating Solar Panel, Inverter and Battery Charger Specifications For the sake of convenience, let’s believe you possess a a 100 watt appliance or […]
Low Battery Indicator Circuit Using Two Transistors Only
In the following post I have explained a simple low battery indicator circuit by using just two inexpensive NPN transistors. The main feature of this circuit is its very low stand by current consumption. The Circuit Concept We have so far seen how to make a low battery indicator circuits using a 741 IC and […]
