Electrostatic Charge Detector (Electroscope)

circuit schematic

Electroscope is a device that is used to detect electrostatic charges. Operation: To reduce AC noise this circuit uses C1, but it will lower the sensitivity a bit. As a voltage divider we use the MPF102 and R1. The divider’s output will be about 4.5V diving a half-scale reading on M1, a 200-uA [...]

Simple Automatic Nicad (NiCd) Battery Charger

circuit schematic

Many cheap battery chargers usually assume that charging the battery slowly is OK although the battery is already full of charges. All they do is usually charging the battery with constant current no matter if the battery is almost completely discharged or has been fully charged. Off course the battery wouldn’t be damaged immediately [...]

Automatic 12V Lead-Acid Battery Charger

circuit schematic

This charger circuit is suitable for lead-acid battery, including flooded, gel, and AGM types. The automatic term means that this charger will stop charging automatically when the battery voltage reach a certain pint, indicating that the battery has been fully charged, and charging will be restarted if the battery voltage falls below that threshold. A [...]

Switch Mode Lead Acid Battery Charger

circuit schematic

More efficient lead acid battery charger can be implemented using switch mode circuit. A switch mode for lead acid battery charger can be constructed using bq24105 battery charger controller. The bq24105 was originally designed to charge single-, two- or three-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery packs. Its features doesn’t include the control for lead acid battery [...]
