Arduino Battery Level Indicator Circuit
In this post, I will show how to construct an Arduino based battery level indicator, where a series of 6 LEDs show the level of the battery. If you are interested in monitoring and maintenance of your 12V battery, this circuit might become handy. Why Battery Level Monitoring is Crucial All batteries have certain voltage […]
Battery Full Charge Indicator Circuit using Two Transistors
This little circuit will alert the user regarding a battery reaching its full-charge level (over charge) while it’s being charged, by illuminating an LED. The circuit uses just a couple of transistors as the main active components. Main Feature The main feature of this design is not only its mini design but also its supply […]
Op Amp Battery Charger Circuits with Auto Cut Off
In this post I have explained a two op amp IC 741 and LM358 based auto cut off battery charger circuits which are not only accurate with its features but also allows a hassle free and quick setting up of its high/low cut-off threshold limits. High current batteries can e also charged using these circuits. […]
