motorcycle battery charger
The motorcycle battery charger power supply circuit is designed to efficiently charge a 12V lead-acid battery while providing a visual indication of the charging status. The primary component of the circuit is the LM393 voltage comparator, which monitors the voltage level across the battery terminals. The LM393 is a dual comparator integrated circuit that can be utilized to compare the voltage from the battery with a reference voltage to determine the charging status.
In this circuit, the LED indicator (D1) plays a crucial role. It is connected in such a way that it lights up when the current flowing to the battery reaches a minimum threshold of 25 milliamps. This threshold ensures that the battery is receiving sufficient current for charging, thus providing a clear visual indication to the user. The LED serves as a simple yet effective method to notify the user when the charger is actively supplying power to the battery.
The circuit's design also incorporates necessary components such as resistors and capacitors to stabilize the operation of the LM393 and to filter out any noise that may affect the voltage readings. The use of appropriate resistor values is essential to set the reference voltage for the comparator, ensuring accurate monitoring of the battery's state.
