Da Pimp is ATmega48-based portable Lead-acid battery tester, desulfator & charger designed by Mikey Sklar. It uses capacitors instead of a transformer for efficient conversion of AC to DC voltages. With input 120VAC, it will deliver 0.5A constant current output and dynamic voltage 1VDC – 100VDC. While 220VAC input will increase its current output to […]
The purpose of the project is to build lead-acid batteries charger using solar panel in small and portable applications. The charger will stop charging once a pre-set voltage (temperature compensated) has been reached, and resume charging when the voltage has dropped off sufficiently. The load is disconnected when the battery voltage drops below 11V and […]
The MCP73837 and MCP73838 based charger is suitable for portable applications. It is fully integrated linear Li-Ion / Li-Polymer battery chargers with autonomous power source selection. It has small physical size and only need low number of external components to make it works. The MCP73837 support Power-Good Monitor while MCP73838 has Timer Enable feature.
Batteries often serve as the main energy source for portable electronic devices. Although they depend on batteries, portable consumer electronic products, such as GPS devices and multi-media players, often consume energy directly from an ac-dc wall adapter or accessory power adapter (or “Auto Adapter”) when the battery is low or the device is in a […]
