LiFePO4 Battery Charging/Discharging Specifications, Advantages Explained
While Li-Ion and Lithium polymer electrolyte (LiPo) batteries possess unmatched energy density, Lithium-based batteries are costly to produce and need meticulous handling along with a cautious charging. With the advancement of nanotechnology, the manufacturing process of the cathode electrode for these batteries has seen a substantial improvement. The break through nanotechnology-based high-load LiFePO4 cells are […]
Charging Battery with Piezo Mat Circuit
In this post I have explained a method to harvest free electricity from a piezo embedded mat by walking on it, and try to investigate how this energy may be used for charging a small battery. Normally a human body carries a huge amount of energy which simply gets wasted in our regular day to […]
Automatic Inverter Fan Switch ON while Charging and Inverting Modes
In this post I have explained a simple method of automatically switching ON an inverter fan whenever the unit is operating in the charging mode or inverter mode, in order to ensure optimum cooling of the internal power devices. The idea was requested by Mr. Sudip Bepary. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I have just bought […]
Lipo Battery Balance Charger for Charging of Series Connected Lipo Cells
In this post I have explained a relatively easy lipo battery balance charger circuit which is designed to continuously scan and charge the connected cells of the battery. The idea was requested by Mr. Schindler and Mr. Emil Jan Thomas Baticulon. Charging 6 Li-Po Packs The concepts are very well written, concise and clear. Thank […]
Battery Current Indicator Circuit – Current Triggered Charging Cut off
In this post I have explained about a simple battery current sensor with indicator circuit which detects the amount of current consumed by the battery while charging. The presented designs also have an auto cut off when the battery stops consuming current at its full charge level.. Why Current Drops as Battery gets Charged We […]
