The precise battery capacity tester circuit explained in the following article can be used for testing the maximum backup capacity of any rechargeable battery in real time. By Timothy John Basic concept The circuit works by practically discharging a fully charged battery under test through constant current, until its voltage reaches the deep discharge value. […]

Calculating Capacitor Charge/Discharge Time using RC Constant
Capacitor charge and discharge periods is usually calculated through an RC constant called tau, expressed as the product of R and C, where C is the capacitance and R is the resistance parameter that may be in series or parallel with the capacitor C. It may be expressed as shown below: τ = R C […]
Triac Phase Control using PWM Time Proportional
A triac phase control using a PWM circuit can be useful only if it’s implemented using a time-proportional format, otherwise the response could be haphazard and inefficient. In a few of of my earlier articles as given below: Simple Remote Controlled Fan Regulator Circuit Push Button Fan Regulator with Display Circuit Dimmer Circuit for LED […]
Battery Backup Time Indicator Circuit
In this post I have explained a battery backup time indicator circuit for monitoring the battery power usage by the connected load and for estimating the approximate remaining backup time of the battery. The idea was requested by Mr. Mehran Manzoor. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I want a circuit which shows remaining time of backup […]
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 […]
Making a Time Machine – Concept Explored
Wondering how to travel in time? Learn it with great Sir Stephen Hawking, according to whom time warp may be an option but seems pretty impractical, the reason being the feed back loop which will just oppose the feasibility of making a time machine and the concept using this theory. Are you intrigued by the […]
