In this post I will explain one useful SCR relay battery overcharge cut off circuit, which also has automatic latching and small trickle charging feature, so now when battery becomes fully charged then charger disconnects automatically, but still a tiny current keeps going into battery slowly. Main Features Main interesting thing here is the SCR […]

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 […]
Charging a Small NiMh Battery from Air
In this post we will try to investigate a circuit which can charge a small Ni-Mh battery by extracting free energy from the ether or air. I have explained more Discussing how to Derive Free 9V from Air – By Steven Chiverton Mr. Steven has devised an ingenious way of collecting energy from the air […]
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 […]
