Here is a 12V, 7Ah smart battery charger circuit which is also referred to as a smart charger uses three-stage of charging i.e. bulk stage, absorption stage, and float stage. Normal battery charger technology uses single-stage battery charging technology i.e. only charge the battery up to the maximum charging voltage preset by the charging circuit. Now here is a 12V, 7Ah smart battery charging circuit which is also referred to as a smart charger uses three-stage of charging i.e. bulk stage, absorption stage, and float stage.

9V DC to plus/minus 5V DC converter
Presented here is a simple circuit “9V DC to plus/minus 5V DC converter” that can convert a 9V battery to plus/minus 5V DC supply using LM7805 and ICL 7660. The operational amplifier requires a dual polarity power supply (+Ve and -Ve) because it has to swing on the output i.e. it does not swing into action during the negative cycle of signal if the negative source is not given. Thus, for the proper operation, we need a dual polarity power supply. Circuit Description of 9V DC to plus/minus 5V DC converter While…

Read More12 V Battery Charger with overcharge and deep-discharge protecting
Introduction of 12 V Battery Charger with overcharge and deep-discharge protecting Mostly in broad projects, we have seen lead-acid storage cells are often used as a backup source of electrical energy during periods of supply line failure so that the system operates efficiently. In case of mains supply failure, the energy (i.e. electrical) stored in the cell is used and later when the mains supply is available, the energy in the cell is restored from the mains through a device named a charger. The cell undergoes chemical processes during the charging…
