I Specifically Designed this circuit to charge 2 Batteries for my Digital Cameras, but it can be modified to charge 3, 4, 5 or more cell. However, It will Not Work with only One Cell as that voltage is too low for even this LDR Discharge Regulator. If you decide to Always charge 4 or more batteries, the REG1117A could be replaced with an LM317. But with only Two cell, this will not work. It is Recommended to set the discharge, Down to 1.1 volts per cell at a rate of 1/10 capacity. This Prevents any Memory from occuring. Therefore on an 1800 mAH battery, the Discharge current would be 180 mA. This is A SLOW PROCESS, And can take MANY HOURS, depending on the charge remaining in the battery.

Discharging these types of batteries at a higher rate will Not Recommended and "Can Cause Damage".
A Proper dis-Charge and Re-Charge takes Time,
But it is Well Worth it.
Additionally in my tests: I have found that the 1 Hour Quick Charge, does not produce as good of results as a 4 hour Charge. But that choice is yours.
I use 3 sets of batteries, Each set Numbered and Alternating them is not a problem.
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.....
