Solar Battery Charger Circuits

Published:2012/9/24 4:05:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Solar, Battery Charger

This is the most simple and affordable solar battery charger that the hobbyist can make. It has a few drawbacks over other similar controls, but offers numerous advantages. It is intended for charging lead-acid batteries, but may also be used for charging any battery at a constant voltage. Voltage output is adjustable.Advantages & Disadvantages of this solar charger + Simple, small & inexpensive + Uses commonly available components + Adjustable voltage + ZERO battery discharge when sun is not shining – High drop-out voltage—may be marginal for 6V application – Current limited to 1.5A – No LED indicators—no bells or whistles Solar battery charger specifications Solar panel rating: 20W (12V) or 10W (6V) Output voltage range: 5 to 14V (adjustable) (may be reduced further by shorting R2) Max power dissipation: 10W (includes power dissipation of D1) Typical dropout voltage: 2 to 2.75V (depending upon load current) Maximum current: 1.5A (internally limits at about 2.2A) Voltage regulation: ±100mV (due to regulation of series rectifier) Battery discharge: 0mA (this control will not discharge the battery when the sun doesn’t shine) Solar battery charger schematic 6V Applicaton Output Voltage: Set for 7V Input voltage: Battery discharged (6V): 8.75V Min @ 1.5A (this is a little high for panels that are characterized for 6V applications) Battery charged (7V): 9V Min @ 10mA (e.g.) 12V Application Output Voltage: Set for 14V Input voltage: Battery discharged (12V): 14.75V Min @ 1.5A (Available from solar panel characterized for 12V operation) Battery charged: (14V): 16V Min Minimum Head Voltage This is also referred to “drop-out voltage.” The input voltage must exceed the output voltage by about 2.75V @ 1.5A. Fortunately, when the battery discharged, the output voltage is lower so the solar panel voltage will also be lower. When fully charged, the battery voltage will be high, but the current is very low—at this point, the drop-out voltage reduces to about 2V and the open circuit solar panel voltage also comes into play. The schottky rectifier was selected to reduce this head voltage requirement—the voltage drop of the schottky is about 0.5V @ 1.5A or about half that of a typical silicon rectifier. More advanced controls have a much lower head voltage requirement and will function better under marginal conditions. Maximum Power Dissipation The power is limited by the thermal resistances of both the LM317T and the heat sink. To keep the junction temperature below the 125°C Max, the power must be limited to about 10W. If a smaller or less effective heat sink is used, the maximum power dissipation must be de-rated. Fortunately, the LM317 has internal temperature limiting so that if it gets too hot, it shuts down thus protecting itself from damage. Max power comes into effect when charging a 12V battery @ 1.5A: e.g. battery voltage = 12V, solar panel = 18V. P = (18V – 12V) * 1.5A = 9W. So thermally, it is carefully matched to the current rating. If a solar panel that is characterized for 12V is applied with a 6V battery, the maximum current must be reduced to about 0.7A: e.g. battery voltage = 6V, solar panel voltage = 18V. P = (18V – 6V) * 0.7A = 9.6W. In this case,   (View)

Battery Status Indicator circuit

Published:2012/9/21 3:25:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Battery Status, Indicator

If an LED indicator is present in battery powered gadgets such as Emergency lamps, it will consume power even if the gadget is not using. This will reduce the battery voltage since the LED takes around 2 volts. So it is necessary to charge the battery continuously to keep the battery voltage level. This circuit eliminates this and the LEDs turn on only in two conditions. That is in the over charged and over discharged conditions only. The circuit is basically a voltage controlled switch using Zener diodes. Two state LED indication is provided using a Bicolour LED. Zener diode ZD1 and the PNP transistor T1 forms the over discharge indicator switch. When the battery voltage is above the breakdown point of ZD1 (around 5 volts), it conducts and keeps T1 out of conduction. So the Red half of the bicolur LED remains off. When the battery voltage reduces below 5 volts, Zener turns off allowing T1 to conduct and Red LED turns on. This indicates that the battery is going to the over discharged state. Zener diode ZD2 and NPN transistor T2 forms the Over charge indicator switch. When the battery voltage is below 6.8 volts (maximum voltage level), ZD cease to conduct and T2 remains off. So that the Green half of the LED also remains off. When the battery voltage increases above 7 volts due to overcharging, ZD2 conducts followed by T2 and Green LED turns on. This is the over charged state. In short, if the battery voltage is between 5 and 7 volts, both LEDs remain off. This reduces the chance of power consumption. Battery Status Indicator Circuit Setting A variable power supply is necessary for the calibration. Provide 5 volts and adjust VR1 till Red LED turns on. At this point, Green LED remains off. Increase the voltage to 7volts and adjust VR2 till Green LED turns on. At this point, Red LED should remain off. Reduce the voltage to 6 volts. Both LEDs should be in the off state.? 21 Responses to “Battery Status Indicator circuit” source: electroschematics.com   (View)

Battery over discharge Indicator

Published:2012/9/21 3:25:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Battery , over discharge , Indicator

Most of the battery voltage indicators always remain on even if the load is off. The LED indicator and the circuit consume current which reduces the battery charge and the charger should be continuously switched on to keep the charge of the battery. Here is an ideal solution to prevent this. The indicator turns on only if the load is running. It gives a Red LED indication when the battery voltage reduces below 4.7 volts. So that the load can be switched off to prevent deep discharge of the battery. The circuit uses the OpAmp CA3140 as a voltage comparator and SCR 2P4M as switch. The inverting input of IC1 gets half supply voltage(3V) from the potential divider R2-R3 and its non inverting input gets a higher voltage through R1. Capacitor C1 maintains stable voltage level at the non inverting input of IC1.Power supply to the IC is obtained through the SCR 2P4M when the load switches on. Output voltage of IC1 is used to drive the deep discharge indicator LED.As long as the output voltage from IC1 is above 5 volts, Zener conducts and keep the PNP transistor off. So that LED remains off. When the battery voltage reduces below 5 volts, output voltage of IC1 also reduces to 5 volts or less. This makes the Zener out of conduction and T1 turns on and LED lights to indicate low battery level. Battery over discharge indicator circuit Setting Normally IC1 will be off since SCR is not conducting. The gate of SCR (point A) should be connected after the load switch so that SCR fires only when the load turns on. Before connecting the circuit to the battery, adjust the breakdown point of Zener using a variable power supply. Give 5 volts and slowly adjust VR till LED turns on. This is the breakdown point of Zener. It will be around 5 volts. If Zener is still conducting, reduce its value to 4.1 volts. CA3140 is a low power BiMOS Op Amp and its output will be nearly full supply voltage. Once the SCR triggers, it latches itself and remains conducting even if the gate voltage is removed. SCR can be switched off by removing power through S1.? 3 Responses to “Battery over discharge Indicator” source: electroschematics.com   (View)

Tricky Charger circuit

Published:2012/9/20 20:53:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Tricky Charger

Here is a crude but efficient tricky charger for Lead Acid Battery. It uses a 12 volt car bulb as current regulator and charge status indicator. The brightness of the bulb indicates how much charge is flowing into the battery. When the battery becomes fully charged, lamp turns off. If the lamp is staying on with full brightness for more than 30 minutes, it indicates that the battery is dead and is not accepting charge.Charging current is obtained from a 15-0-15 volt secondary 2 Ampere step down transformer. Diodes D1 and D2 are rectifiers which can handle 3 ampere current. In order to give “Dirty DC” for charging, a low value filtering capacitor C1 is used. So that the DC voltage will have some ripples which is necessary for better charging of lead acid battery. Tricky Charger Circuit diagram The trick of the lamp is interesting. A 12 volt car tail lamp bulb is used in the circuit. It is connected in series with the positive output rail so that current flows through the bulb into the positive terminal of the battery. From the positive terminal, current passes through the battery chemistry into the negative terminal and then returns into the transformer. So the current flowing through the bulb depends on how much charge is using by the battery. When the charger is connected to the battery, the lamp turns on only if the battery requires charging current. OFF state of the bulb indicates that the battery is dead. If the battery holds some charge, bulb will turns on. If the battery is partially discharged and holding 50% charge, bulb will light brightly when the charger turns on. Then the brightness gradually reduces and finally the filament appears as a red hot line. This indicates that the battery is fully charged. The bulb also restricts the flow of current like a resistor.? 7 Responses to “Tricky Charger circuit” Source: electroschematics.com   (View)
