Electric vehicles ideally need high-rate chargers. Such batteries require active monitoring of the battery to protect it from overcharging. High-rate chargers may restore most capacity much faster, but high rate chargers can be more than some battery types can tolerate. Slow battery chargers may take several hours to complete a charge. Lithium-ion batteries cannot handle indefinite trickle charging. Some battery types cannot tolerate trickle charging attempts to do so may result in damage. Ī trickle charger provides a relatively small amount of current, only enough to counteract self-discharge of a battery that is idle for a long time. The charger may have temperature or voltage sensing circuits and a microprocessor controller to safely adjust the charging current and voltage, determine the state of charge, and cut off at the end of charge.Ĭhargers may elevate the output voltage proportionally with current to compensate for impedance in the wires. Other battery types cannot withstand over-charging, becoming damaged (reduced capacity, reduced lifetime), over heating or even exploding. Other battery types use a timer to cut off when charging should be complete. Simple chargers of this type must be manually disconnected at the end of the charge cycle. Some battery types have high tolerance for overcharging (i.e., continued charging after the battery has been fully charged) and can be recharged by connection to a constant voltage source or a constant current source, depending on battery type. The charging protocol (how much voltage or current for how long, and what to do when charging is complete) depends on the size and type of the battery being charged.

Please share your feedback on this mini-project and also let me know if you have any queries. When the voltage across the battery cross the cut-off voltage, the relay will turn off and the battery will be disconnected from the supply. Then give the 220V or 110V supply, the green LED will turn on, which indicates the battery is charging. Finally, Auto Cut-Off Battery Charger is readyĬonnect a Lead Acid Battery at the Battery side (as per the circuit.) Please take proper safety precaution while working with 220V or 110V supply. Then rotate the potentiometer until the red LED turns on.Īfter setting the cut-off voltage disconnect the variable DC supply and connect the step-down transformer at the AC input, as shown in the circuit diagram. Now, to set the cut-off voltage, you have to connect a variable DC power supply at the DC input and connect a multimeter (voltmeter) at the battery side as shown.įor example, to set the cut-off voltage at 13V, you have to give 13V at DC input.
Connect all the components as shown on the layout.
