Parallel Battery Charger Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained two methods of connecting batteries in parallel. The first one below deals with changeover circuit using SPDT switches to charge multiple batteries individually or collectively. These may be connected in parallel using a single battery charger and through a manual SPDT changeover switch bank. The seconds design talks about […]
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. […]
Simple Ni-Cd Battery Charger Circuits Explored
In this post I have explained many simple NiCd charger circuits with an automatic overcharge protection and a constant current charging. When it comes to correctly charging a Nickel-Cadmium cell, it is strictly recommended that the charging process is halted or cut off as soon as it reaches the full charge level. Not following this […]
5 Simple Power Bank Circuits for Mobile Phones
In this article I have explained a 5 assorted power bank circuits using 1.5V cell and 3.7V Li-ion cell which can be built by any individual for their personal emergency cellphone charging functionality. The idea was requested by Mr. Irfan What is a Power Bank Power bank is a battery pack which is used to […]
3 Interesting DRL (Day Time Running Light) Circuits for Your Car
DRL or Day Time Running Lights are a chain of bright lights mostly LEDs installed just under a vehicle’s headlight, which illuminate automatically during day time to ensure that others can distinctly notice the vehicle approaching even from a distance. The following customized DRL circuit was requested by Mr. Jivesh Technical Specification as Provided by […]
