Here is the simple and low cost NiCd and NiMH battery charger circuit which can be used for various battery type and size. This battery charger use a regulator IC of LM317. Schematic diagram: The charge will start if a battery is connected between pins JP1-JP4 or JP2-JP4 or JP3-JP4. For example, if a battery… Read More »
This is low cost fully transistorised power inverter 60W circuit capable of driving medium loads of the order of 40 to 60 watts using battery of 12V, 15 Ah or higher capacity. Transistors T1 and T2 (BC548) form a 50Hz multivibrator. For obtaining correct frequency, the values of resistors R3 and R4 may have to… Read More »
Automatic Switching-on Emergency Light The schematic diagram shown right here is the automatic switching-on emergency light circuit which is controlled using IC. The most important capabilities of this circuit are: automatic switching-on of the light on main power failure and battery charger with overcharge protection. When mains electrical power is absent, relay RL2 is in… Read More »
Here’s a very simple circuit inverter that converts DC current into AC current, from 12V DC to 220V AC with output power of 5W max. Inverter circuit is typically used for emergency lighting, since the power output is small, which is about 5W only. But you can use this inverter for other purposes that do… Read More »
