Broken Charger Connection Alarm

Detects if a device is not properly connected to its supply Suitable for battery chargers, portable appliance supplies etc. The above circuit can be useful to detect if the load of any battery charger or plug-in adapter supply is not properly connected. The load can be a set of batteries to be charged or any other type of battery or low dc voltage operated device. The circuit can safely operate over a 3 to 15V range and 1A max. Current, provided the supply voltage is about one volt higher than the voltage required by the load.

The circuit is inserted between the supply and the load; therefore, until a trickle-charging current of at least 100µA is flowing towards the load, D1 and D2 will conduct. The forward voltage drop (about 1V) available across the Diodes drives Q2 into conduction and, consequently, Q1 will be cut-off. If no appreciable load is connected across the circuits output, Q2 will become cut-off, Q1 will conduct and the Piezo-sounder will beep.

24V 7Ah Lead Acid Battery Charger

This lead acid battery charger circuit is designed in response to a request from Mr.Devdas .C. His requirement was a circuit to charge two 12V/7AH lead acid batteries in series. Anyway he did not mentioned the no of cells per each 12V battery. The no of cells/battery is also an important parameter and here I designed the circuit assuming each 12V battery containing 6 cells. When two batteries are connected in series, the voltage will add up and the current capacity remains same. So two 12V/7AH batteries connected in series can be considered as a 24V/7AH battery.


24V 7Ah Lead Acid Battery Charger Circuit Diagram






The circuit given here is a current limited lead acid battery charger built around the famous variable voltage regulator IC LM 317. The charging current depends on the value of resistor R2 and here it is set to be 700mA. Resistor R3 and POT R4 determines the charging voltage. Transformer T1 steps down the mains voltage and bridge D1 does the job of rectification. C1 is the filter capacitor. Diode D1 prevents the reverse flow of current from the battery when charger is switched OFF or when mains power is not available.

Notes.
  1. Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB.
  2. T1 can be a 230V primary, 35V/3A secondary step down transformer.
  3. If 3A Bridge is not available, make one using four 1N5003 diodes.
  4. LM317 must be fitted with a heat sink.
  5. R2 = 0.85 ohm is not a standard value. You can obtain it by combining a 6.2 ohm and 1 ohm resistors in parallel.
  6. F1 can be a 2A fuse.
  7. To setup the charging voltage, power ON the charger and hook up a voltmeter across the output terminals and adjust R4 to make the voltmeter read 28V. Now the charger is ready and you can connect the batteries.
  8. This charger is specifically designed for two 12V/7AH/6 cell lead acid batteries in series OR a 24V/7AH/12 cell lead acid battery.

Solar IPod Charger Project and Schematic


Solar iPod Charger Schematic



The Solar Panel

To accomplish our iPod solar charger we acclimated a 250mA 6 Volt Solar Console (available in the REUK Shop). Alike in the brightest sunshine the voltage is not badly aloft that of the iPod battery, and the accepted is affluence abundant to allegation the array in a few hours in ablaze altitude (even in the UK!).

A blocking diode should be acclimated (in the absolute solar console lead) to anticipate the iPod array from boring clarification at night if it is still affiliated to the panel. Unforunately this after-effects in up to 0.7 Volts actuality absent as calefaction in the diode, so it can be larboard out if you adopt to accept a faster charger which will allegation the array in lower ablaze conditions.

Note that abounding solar panels are supplied with a branch adapted blocking diode.

In adjustment to adapt the voltage from our 6 Volt solar console we acclimated an LM317T dent (available from the REUK Shop) in the afterward cool simple schema:


Voltage Regulator




...where R1 is a 270 Ohm resistor, and R2 is theresistor used to set the output voltage according to the following equation:

R2 = R1 * ( (VOUT/1.25) -1 )

Since our desired charging voltage is 5 Volts, we see that ideally R2 would be 270 * ((5/1.25) -1) = 810 Ohms. This is not a standard resistor size, however we had an 820 Ohm resistor which should result in an output voltage of 5.05 Volts.

Wiring up the aloft ambit on a prototyping breadboard with a 270 Ohm R1 resistor, and 820 Ohm R2 resistor we can affirm that the achievement voltage is 5.06 Volts - absolute for our iPod charger. It is capital to analysis that the achievement voltage is about 5 Volts application a acceptable multimeter afore attempting to allegation your iPod or the array and/or iPod itself could be damaged.


iPod Solar Charger Prototyping




Connecting the Charger to the iPod


The iPod is supplied with a USB cable. One end is acquainted into the iPod and the added end has a macho USB-A plug.

It can generally be cheaper to buy a cable with a adapted changeable USB-A adapter and cut it off to use in this project. Simply affix the red USB cable wire to the 5V absolute achievement from the LM317T, and the atramentous USB cable wire to the arena (negative).

According the blueprint beneath the 5 Volt achievement from the LM317T should be affiliated to pin 1, and the arena (negative) affiliated to pin 4.

Extension for LiPo Charger Wiring diagram Schematic

Extension for LiPo Charger Project Image

Extension-for-LiPo-Charger-Project-Image

The ‘Simple LiPo Charger’ published in Elektor Electronics April 2005 is a small and handy schema that allows you to quickly charge two or three LiPo cells. Especially in the model construction world are LiPo batteries used a lot these days, particularly model aeroplanes. 

It is usual to use a series connection of three cells with these models. Since working with these model aeroplanes usually happens in the field, it would be nice if the batteries could be charged from a car battery.

We therefore designed a voltage converter for the LiPo charger concerned, which makes it possible to charge three cells in series. The voltage per cell increases while charging to a value of about 4.2 V, which gives a total voltage of 12.6 V. The converter, therefore, raises the 12-V voltage from the car battery to 16.5 V, from which the LiPo charger can be powered.

Extension-for-LiPo-Charger-Circuit-Diagram


A step-up controller type MAX1771 in combination with an external FET carries out the voltage conversion. The IC operates at a moderately high switching frequency of up to 300 kHz, which means that quite a small coil can be used. 

Because the IC uses pulse frequency modulation (PFM) it combines the advantages of pulse width modulation (high efficiency at high load) with very low internal current consumption (110µA). 

The IC is configured here in the so-called non-bootstrapped mode, which means that it is powered from the input voltage (12 V). The output voltage is adjusted with voltage divider R2/R3. This can be set to any required value, provided that the output voltage is greater than the input voltage.
