Automatic Battery Charger

Normally, chargers available in the market do not have any sort of control except for a ro-tary switch that can select different tap-pings on a rheostat, to vary the charging current. This type of control is not adequate because of the irregular fluctuations in the mains supply, rendering the control ineffective.  A simple circuit intended for automatic charging of lead-acid batteries is presented here. It is flexible enough to be used for large capacity inverter batteries. Only the rating of transformer and power transistor needs to be increased.

Circuit diagram :
Automatic Battery Charger Circuit Diagram
 
The circuit has been basically designed for a car battery (about 40 Ah rating), which could be used for lighting two 40W tube lights. The circuit includes Schmitt trigger relay driver,float charger,and battery voltage monitor sections.  The Schmitt trigger is incorporated to avoid relay chattering. It is designed for a window of about 1V. During charging, when the battery voltage increases be-yond 13.64V, the relay cuts off and the float charging section continues to work. When battery voltage goes below 11.66V, the relay is turned on and direct (fast) charging of the battery takes place at around 3A.  In the Schmitt trigger circuit, resistors R1 and R2 are used as a simple voltage divider (divide-by-2) to provide battery voltage sample to the inverting input terminal of IC1. The non-invert-ing input terminal of IC1 is used for reference input derived from the output of IC2 (7806), using the potentiometer arrangement of resistors R3 (18 kilo-ohm) and R4 (1 kilo-ohm). 

LED1 is connected across relay to indicate fast charging mode. Diodes D3 and D6 in the common leads of IC2 and IC3 respectively provide added protecion to the regulators.  The float charging section, comprising regulator 7812, transistors T3 and T4, and few other discrete components, becomes active when the battery volt-age goes above 13.64V (such that the relay RL1 is deenergised). In the energised state of the relay, the emitter and collector of transistor T4 remain shorted, and hence the float charger is ineffective and direct charging of battery takes place. 

The reference terminal of regulator (IC3) is kept at 3.9V using LED2, LED3, and diode D6 in the common lead of IC3 to obtain the required regulated output (15.9V), in excess of its rated output, which is needed for proper operation of the circuit. This output voltage is fed to the base of transistor T3 (BC548), which along with transistor T4 (2N3055) forms a Darlington pair. You get 14.5V output at the emitter of transistor T4, but because of a drop in diode D7 you effectively get 13.8V at the positive terminal of the battery. When Schmitt trigger switches ‘on’ relay RL1, charging is at high current rate (boost mode). The fast charging path, starting from transformer X2, comprises diode D5, N/O contacts of relay RL1, and diode D7. 

The circuit built around IC4 and IC5 is the voltage monitoring section that provides visual display of battery voltage level in bar graph like fashion. Regulator 7805 is used for generating reference voltage. Preset VR1 (20 kilo-ohm) can be used to adjust voltage levels as indicated in the circuit. Here also a pot meter arrangement using resistors R7, R8, and R9 is used as ‘divide by 3’ circuit to sample the battery voltage. When voltage is below 10V, the buzzer sounds to indicate that the safe dis-charge limit has been exceeded.

12v Battery Charger Circuit

The circuit may be accustomed charge 12V lead acid batteries.

Overview

Pin one of the LM317 IC is that the management pin that is employed to manage the charging voltage, Pin a pair of is that the output at that the charging voltage seems, Pin three is that the input to that the regulated DC offer is given.

The charging voltage and current is controlled by the electronic transistor (Q1), electrical device (R1) and POT (VR1). once the battery is 1st connected to the charging terminals, the present through R1 will increase. This successively will increase the present and voltage from LM317. once the battery is totally charged the charger reduces the charging current and also the battery are charged within the trickle charging mode.

Circuit


Notes
  • The input voltage to the circuit should be a minimum of 3V more than the expected output voltage. luminous flux unit 317 dissipates around 3V throughout its operation. Here I used 18V DC because the input.
  • The charging voltage may be set by victimization the POT (VR1).
  • The luminous flux unit 317 should be mounted on a sink.
  • All capacitors should be rated a minimum of 25V.
  • Youll be able to use crocodilian clips for connecting the battery to the charger.

12V Battery Charger for Sealed Lead Acid

12V Battery Charger for Sealed Lead Acid


This battery charger is for 12V Seales Lead Acid (SLA) battery. It is actually a half-wave rectifier. It only charges the battery on every half cycle. The plug pack doesnt like this as it leaves residual flux in the core of the transformer and causes it to overheat.




There are a number of points we need to cover about the care and use of Sealed Lead Acid batteries.
Firstly, these batteries must be charged, discharged and stored very carefully.
We normally think batteries can be stored for months (if not years) and they will be available for immediate use.

This is not the case with SLA batteries.
If you store a NEW, full charged SLA battery for 6 months or more, you will find it may be fully discharged.
You may also find you cannot charge it!! It may be worthless.
Thats how delicate SLA batteries are.

They must be charged on a regular basis to prevent them discharging to a very low voltage level.
If the terminal voltage of a SLA battery is allowed to go below 8v, aprocess called SULPHATION starts to cover the surface of the plates and prevents the battery being re-charged. The internal resistance of the battery increases and it becomes useless. See products Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger on Amazon

Ni cad Charger Wiring diagram Schematic

Ni-cad charger with current and voltage limiting. Lamp LI will glow brightly and the LED will be out when the battery is low and being charged, but the LED will be bright and the light bulb dim when the battery is almost ready. Ll should be a light bulb rated for the current you want (usually the battery capacity divided by 10). Diode D1 should be at least 1 A, and Z1 is a 1W zener diode with a voltage determined by the full-charge battery voltage minus 1 V. After the battery is fully charged, the schema will float it at about battery capacity divided by 100 mA.

USB Mobile Phone Battery Charger Circuit


USB Mobile Phone Battery Charger Circuit

This simple ambit can accord adapted 4.7 volts for charging a adaptable phone. USB aperture can accord 5 volts DC at 100mA accepted which is acceptable for the apathetic charging of adaptable phones. Most of the Adaptable Buzz batteries are rated 3.6 volts at 1000 to 1300 mAh. These array packs accept 3 NiMh or Lithium beef accepting 1.2 volt rating. Usually the array backpack requires 4.5 volts at 300-500 mA accepted for fast charging.

Car battery charger


Given below, is a very simple schema that can be used for charging car batteries. In this schema there is facility for monitoring the charging current and voltage.







The schema is based on the IC MC78T12ABT from Freescale.The IC is nothing but a 7812 in TO-3 package with 3A capacity. The transformer T1 steps the mains voltage to 15V AC and diodes D1&D2 does the job of rectification. Capacitor C1 does the filtering and C2 acts as a decoupling capacitor. The ground terminal of IC1 is lifted to 2.1V using the diodes D3 , D4 and D5 . So the output from the IC1 will be a regulated 14.1V (12+2.1).The battery is charged via diode D6.The D6 blocks reverse flow of current from battery to charging schema when the mains power is not available. Meter M1 shows the charging current and M2 shows the charging voltage.





Notes.

* The transformer T1 can be a 230V primary; 15-0-15V, 3A secondary step down transformer.
* The meter M1 can be a 3A ammeter.
* Meter M2 can be a 20V volt meter.
* Fuse F1 can be a 1A fuse.
