This battery charger built using IC MAX713, a NiCad battery charger IC from Maxim. It will control the fast charge time and monitor the cell voltage. The project can charges a battery approximately 80% charge in 22 minutes at a current of 2.4 Amps. Once the fast charging has ended, it trickle charges the [...]
This PIC16F876A-based accu cycler project allow you to charge and discharge NiCd and NiMH accumulators for R/C modelers and others. It has performance close to commercial products in the market. The ‘intelligent’ part of the system can communicates with PC using serial port providing additional process visualization.
The Hibox is High DC Power Meter based on the Atmel Atmega16 microcontroller. This equipment is capable to measure DC voltage up to 40V, currents up to 200A (600A with special sensor) and shows all values on 2×16 characters display. It was developed for enhanced measurements on new Lion/Lipol batteries which are widely used [...]
The dummyload project simulates loads from zero to 1000 mA to help characterize new power supply designs. This design can present a single load to the supply, or it can toggle between two loads with a selectable period and duty cycle. The project is built around microcontroller AVR ATmega169.
The project shows you how to build PIC-based emergency power system for 12-Volt device system. The hearts of the project is PIC16F870. The system will monitoring battery voltage both charging and discharging currents, control 4 digit display, and switches the AC and load relays.
This is simple but very powerful USB charger project for your gadget like mp3 player, camera, cell phone, and any other gadget you can plug into a USB port to charge. Main component of the project is LT1302, Micropower High Output Current Step-Up Adjustable and Fixed 5V DC/DC Converters from Linear.
The solar reading lamp project aim was to produce a self powered reading lamp that could be used by students in developing countries for reading at night. The circuit can be used for a wide variety of lighting applications.
The project consists of a small solar panel, a standard UPS style lead acid battery, and an [...]
