This simple circuit can be used to monitor whether a battery is charging or not. The voltage comparator IC LM393 is the heart of this circuit. The LED D1 will remain ON whenever there is at least 25 milli ampere current flowing to the battery. This particular circuit is designed for a 12V battery with charging current less than 1A.

fying the component values, the charging current and voltage can be modified. Dear sir, is it right to use 1N5822 diode instead of the one you have mentioned in your circuit (i. e1N5819). I am using 6v 4. 5ah SLA battery, will this circuit stop charging at 6. 9v or 7. 00v. i have used 220k for R1 and when the LED will go off, in this case it should go off at voltage level of 6. 9v or 7v. But i am doubtfull sir that it will not go off. please explain . Dear Bashir the indication will go off, when the charging current falls below 25mA. 1N5819 rated for 1 amp, will do but you can use the 3 Amp rating 1N5822 also. This circuit does not sense the voltage level of the battery. for a proper cut off use a voltage regulated power supply between 6. 9 to 7 volt with a charging capability of 1 amp. Hi Sugiman this can be used with any battery up to 30 volts. you can set the current such that it show up to trickle level or it can indicate just whenever the battery is connected for charging (called mandatory charge indicator) please go through my 19th July comment for calculation to use with other battery voltages. ok tq mr. seetharaman. i`ll try to find the ic here. i on indonesia country. but, i have 2 more question. is the circuit will display the power status and charging stat until it full and is it work for 4 v batt thaks, Hi Praveena PD across R2 is 12 X (2. 2/1000) that is 26. 4mV. to get the same mV across 1 ohm you have to flow...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
