Single Cell Lithium-ion battery charger

Posted on Jan 2, 2013

The rechargeable Li-ion, I began to intensely interested last summer, when I managed to bring a holiday without a phone charger. After several experiments involving originated in Figure 1, which has proved. Involvement of the stage provides a limited current charging and constant voltage. Charging current from the rectified voltage of the transformer through the transistor T1, diode D5, resistor R2 and the battery back to AC power. Current flow creates a voltage drop on R2, which opens T2. The transistor T2 controls the current through T1 - the current is regulated so that R2 was approximately constant voltage drop. The collector is connected LED1 T2, indicating the stage of charging current.

Resistor R1 is deliberately chosen a relatively small resistor that flowed much more power than you need to drive T1. Most of this current then flows through LED1 and T2. LEDs because the entire phase charging current of approximately constant bright light. Involvement LED1 limits the minimum output voltage at which the circuit operates correctly at about 1 V. Since the discharged battery voltage is still greater than 3 V, it is not at fault. Part of the circuit to stabilize the output voltage phase charging current does not apply. LED2 through the current small and poorly lit. Stabilizer TL431C to take effect in reaching the final tension. With increase of voltage the current starts to flow ICs, while the current of T2 is reduced. The final charging voltage is set divider R4, R5 and R6. Resistor R5 is used for precise adjustment of the output voltage. TL431C function circuit is very simple - increases when the input voltage of 2.5 V R, increases the current flowing between terminals C and A. The capacitor C2 and resistor R7 serves to ensure the stability of the controller. In constant voltage charging phase LED1 off (T2 is closed) and turns on LED2. It is thus very simple procedure indicated charging. When LED2 is lit, the article charged to more than 70%, and we use it. Conversely, left the article in the charger part is gradually recharged to 100% and charge current drops gradually to zero. Given that the batteries...

Zero consumption Anti-theft High power Code Switch for E-Bike Batteries

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....
Ultrasonic distance finder circuit

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....
Simple Metal detector circuit with CD4030

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....
Fully automatic watering circuit for flower pots

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....
Simple deep searching metal detector circuit

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....
Sub-Harmonic Bass Converter for Electric Guitars

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,....
Echo Depth Sounding Sonar for Boats

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....
