How to Reuse Old Cell Battery for LED lighting

Normally cell batteries have a shelf life of 2 to 5 years under normal use . After that time we have to replace them . Nowadays there replacement batteries which are cheap, but these batteries last for much less cost only months. An easy solution is to use batteries in a circuit that requires less current , we can use them for lighting LEDs .  How to Reuse Old Cell Battery for LED lighting

This is a smart battery charger can protect your vehicle's battery from failing and will prolong its life – they're fully automatic so you can connect and forget.

Relay Fuse For Battery Charges

Here is Simple Circuit Diagram of Relay Fuse For Battery Charges. Charged capacitor C3 and momentary pushbutton switch S2 are used to momentarily energize relay RE 2. Relay Fuse For Battery Charges Circuit Diagram:  The batteiy under charge energizes the relay to hold it closed.  S2 will energize the relay even if the battery is too far discharged initially to energize it.

12V SCR Battery Charger

This battery charger circuit differs from the norm in a number of ways, all of which make it difficult to understand. For this reason, I do not recommend it for the beginner. Repairing /revamping a dead charger What I started with was an inoperative 12amp battery charger. In hope of repairing it, I traced out the circuit, but did not like what I found—poor circuit design. So what I had to start with was an enclosure, ammeter, thermal overload interrupter, and center-tapped transformer all designed for battery charger application. Since the maximum current delivered by the unit is a function of the transformer internal impedance, I recommend that the readers use the same type of transformer. If you are a good pack-rat (like me), you may already have a dead charger—or you can be on the lookout for one. 12V Battery Charger Schematic SCR (Thyristor) Rectifiers First of all, the two SCRs (silicon controlled rectifiers or thyristors) are connected with their anodes (stud or tab) grounded—thi...

12V battery level indicator circuit LED bargraph

LM3914. The heart of this circuit is the LM3914 from national semiconductors. The LM3914 can sense voltage levels and can drive a display of 10 LEDs in dot mode or bar mode. The bar mode and dot mode can be externally set and more than one ICs can be cascaded together to gat an extended display. The IC can operate from a wide supply voltage (3V to 25V DC). The brightness of the LEDs can be programmed using an external resistor. The LED outputs of LM3914 are TTL and CMOS compatible. Description. In the circuit diagram LEDs D1 toD10 displays the level of the battery in either dot or bargraph mode. Resistor R4 connected between pins 6,7 and ground controls the brightness of the LEDs. Resistors R1 and POT R2 forms a voltage divider network and the POT R2 can be used for calibration. The circuit shown here is designed in order to monitor between 10.5V to 15V DC. The calibration of the circuit can be done as follows. After setting up the circuit connect a 12V DC source to the input. Now adju...

Lead Acid Battery Protector

The circuit described here can be used to  ensure  that  a  12 V  sealed  lead  acid  (SLA)  gel battery isn’t discharged too deeply. The  principal part of the circuit is a bistable relay,  which is driven by the output of an op amp. Circuit diagram : Lead Acid Battery Protector Circuit Diagram The battery voltage is first reduced via D1, R1,  P1 and R2, and then continuously compared  with a reference voltage set up by diode D2.  When the battery discharges too much and  its terminal voltage drops below the level  set by P1, the output of the opamp becomes  High, which causes the relay to toggle. This  in turn isolates the load from the battery. The  battery can be reconnected via S1 once the  battery has been replaced or recharged. The relay used in the prototype is a 5 V bistable type made by Omron (G6AK-234P-ST-US  5 VDC). The two windings of the relay each  have a resistance of 139 Ω (for the RAL-D 5  W-K made by Fujitsu this is 167 Ω). When the  battery voltage starts to b...

Simple Battery Charger with Extend LEAD ACID Battery life

Here are a simple circuit of battery charger with extends lead-acid battery life. The circuit provides a first charging voltage of 2.5 V per cell at 25°C to rapidly charge a battery. The charging current decreases as the battery charges, and when the current drops to 180 mA, the charging circuit reduces the output voltage to 2.35 V per cell, floating the battery in a fully charged state.   Charger Extends Lead-Acid Battery Life Circuit Diagram: This lower voltage prevents the battery from overcharging, which would shorten its life. The LM301A compares the voltage drop across R1 with an 18-mV reference set by R2. The comparator`s output controls the voltage regulator, forcing it to produce the lower float voltage when the battery-chaiging current passing through R1 drops below 180 mA. the 150-mV difference between the charge and float voltages is set by the ratio of R3 to R4. The LEDs show the state of the circuit.

9V Battery Replacement Power Supply Circuit Diagram

This circuit was originally designed to power a motorcycle intercom from the vehicle supply system. This type of intercom, which is used for communication between driver and passenger, generally requires quite a bit of power. In order to improve intelligibility there is often elaborate filtering and a compander is sometimes used as well. The disadvantage is that a battery doesn’t last very long. You could use rechargeable batteries, of course, but that is often rather laborious. It seems much more obvious to use the motorcycle power supply instead. A 9-V converter for such an application has to meet a few special requirements. 9V Battery Replacement Power Supply Circuit Diagram For one, it has to prevent interference from, for example, the ignition system reaching the attached circuit. It is also preferable that the entire circuit fits in the 9-V battery compartment. This circuit meets these requirements quite successfully and the design has nonetheless remained fairly simple. In the s...

Simple Train Mounted Camera Battery Charger

Simple Train Mounted Camera Battery Charger circuit will keep the battery for a train mounted camera charged and will shut the camera off after a few seconds when power is no longer applied to the track. The circuit is designed for DCC systems and the battery is essentially used as a capacitor as it is not allowed to become discharged. The battery also controls the voltage to the camera as any current passed through R1 that is not needed by the camera is shunted through the battery . This is an inefficient but cheap way to control the voltage.  Train Mounted Camera Battery Charger Circuit Diagram
