Universal Battery Charger Based on LM317

This universal battery charger is based on LM317 and has an adjustable regulated output voltage and also has an adjustable constant-current charging circuit that makes it suitable to use for charging most NiCad batteries and some other types of batteries . This LM317 universal battery charger can charge a single cell or a number of series-connected cells up to a maximum voltage of 18 V.

This universal battery charger circuit use just some common electronic components like LM317 regulator , operational amplifier and some 2n3055 power transistors .2n3055 power transistors Q1 and Q2 are connected as series regulators to control the battery chargers out¬put voltage and charge-current rate. The LM317 used as an adjustable voltage regulator supplies the drive signal to the bases of power transistors Q1 and Q2.


LM317 Universal Battery Charger

By turning the potentiometer R9 the output-voltage level will be modified. A current-sampling resistor, R8 (a 0.1-fi, 5-W unit), connected between the negative output lead and circuit ground.As the charging voltage across the battery begins to drop, the current through R8 decreases , then the voltage feeding pin 5 of U3 decreases, and the comparator output follows, turning Q3 back off, which completes the signals circular path to regulate the batterys charging current. The charging current can be set by adjusting R10 for the desired current.

Car Mobile Phone Charger Circuit

Car Mobile Phone Charger Circuit
Cellphone battery charging process when were done traveling is a big problem. Because when traveling source of power supply is generally difficult to find. If you turn on your phone then the battery continuously over time will run out within a period of five to six hours and eventually mobile phones unusable. Here is described a series of simple charger that will increase battery life two to three hours.


In principle, the charger uses a series of Limited Voltage Current Source. Generally requires cellphone battery voltage 3.6 - 6 volts DC and currents 180-200 mA to perform the charging process. Cellphone battery usually consists of three NiCd battery cells, and each cell has a voltage of 1.2 volts potential. At the speed - average low flows required to charge mobile phone battery about - about 100mA.

Car Mobile Phone Charger Circuit schematics

In this series there is a 12V voltage source consists of 8 regular battery cells (each cell 1.5 Volt) able to supply current at 1.8 A which is connected with output terminals.

The circuit is also able to monitor the battery voltage level which is in charge. And will automatically cut off the charging process when the output terminal detects a certain battery voltage level predetermined. Timer IC NE555 is used to charge and monitor the voltage level in the battery, Pin 5 (IC1) as the control voltage using a reference voltage zener voltage 5.6Volt. Voltage at Pin 6 as the threshold set by VR1 and the voltage at Pin 2 as the trigger is set by VR2.

When the cellphone battery is connected in series (the Charging Process) applied voltage on PIN2 (IC1) as a trigger would be below the value 1 / 3 Vcc and will cause the Flip-Flop in IC1 will ON and on Pin 3 (IC1) will be high (Cause transistor T1 saturation.). When the battery is full (Full Charge) then the voltage will rise and the voltage on the PIN2 (IC1) will be above the level of trigger point threshold. This will cause the Flip Flop OFF and the output will be low (transistor T1 causes the cutoff) and indirectly also the charging process will stop.

Pin 6 (Threshold IC1) is set at 2 / 3 Vcc by using VR1, transistors T1 which is used to increase the charging current. R3 value is very important to provide the charging current, by setting the value of R3 to 39 ohms then the charging current supplied approximately 180mA. This circuit can be built on any type of PCB (General Purpose PCB) for the calibration process using the DC voltage level cutoff Variable Power Supply. Connect the output terminal circuit with Variable DC Power Supply and set on 7 volts. Adjust VR1 in middle position and slowly adjust VR2 until LED1 OFF, this indicates Low Output. LED1 should turn on when the DC Variable Power Supply voltage is reduced below 5V. LED1 Status flame shown in the table below. Closed circuit with plastic casing and use a suitable connector for connecting to the Battery for Mobile.

12V 4 AA Cell Differential Temperature Charger

This project includes a number of improvements over my older Temperature Controlled NICD Charger circuit. This circuit runs on 12VDC, allowing it to be used in a car or from a 12V solar power system. Additionally, a current sensor LED verifies that the cells are receiving charging current. Note that the current sensor circuitry is not shown in the circuit board photo above, it was added to the side of the main board via a small perfboard.

12V, 4-AA Cell Differential Temperature Charger Circuit diagram

12V, 4-AA Cell Differential Temperature Charger

The current is adjustable in three steps from 100 to 300mA, allowing fast charging of AA, AAA or other small cells. Battery packs from 1 to 6 cells can be charged with this circuit. NiMH and older NiCD cells are supported. The circuit is protected from reverse input voltage and reversed cells.

Connections:
  • 12VDC (nominal) power input
  • Connections for the Battery Under Charge
Controls:
  • Power On/Off switch
  • Charge Start switch
  • 3 step Charge Current Select jumper
  • Calibrate/[Latch] mode jumper
  • Temperature sensor calibrate trimmer
  • Red/Green Charging/Done light
  • Amber Current Flow light
Theory:
12VDC power is supplied to the circuit from an external source such as a car battery system, a 12V solar power system or a regulated "wall wart" supply. If DC power is applied backwards, the 6A05 crowbar diode causes the 3A fuse to blow, protecting the circuit from reverse voltage. The power switch routes power to the 78L09 voltage regulator and the battery. The 78L09 regulator provides regulated power to the rest of the circuit.

The battery current loop starts with the +12V supply, then runs through the battery and through a 1N5819 reverse voltage protection diode. Current continues through the LM317 1 amp adjustable voltage regulator which is wired as a constant current source, through the IRFD110 power MOSFET transistor, which switches charging current on and off, through the 0.1 ohm current sensing resistor to ground (12VDC negative). The charge current is selected by jumpering one of three current-set resistors on the negative side of the LM317 regulator. The 120 ohm trickle charge resistor always allows 10mA of current to flow through the battery.

The temperature control part of the circuit starts with a matched pair of 10K NTC thermistors. One thermistor is epoxied to a small metal reference temperature plate. The other thermistor is epoxied to a metal battery holder. The temperature sensors are balanced by the calibrate potentiometer. The 100nF and 50nF capacitors across the thermistors cause different start-up time delays to insure that the following circuitry powers up in the off state.

The upper half of the TLC2272CP rail-to-rail op-amp is wired as a latching comparator when the Cal/Latch jumper is present (operate mode), the circuit becomes a regular comparator with hysteresis when the jumper is off (calibrate mode). Assuming the battery is cold and the circuit is in operate mode, the start switch turns the op-amp on for a charging cycle. When the battery temperature exceeds the reference temperature, the op-amp turns off and the diode in the feedback loop latches the op-amp off. The op-amp output also drives the IRFD110 current switch MOSFET.

The lower half of the TLC2272CP simply inverts the output from the upper part of the op-amp, this gives a bipolar drive signal for running the Red/Green Charging/Done light.

An optional current flow lamp was added to the circuit. Rechargeable batteries tend to get corroded contacts which can prevent the charging current from flowing. The lamp provides an indication that the charging current is really making its way through the batteries. The current Flow lamp circuit consists of an LM358 op-amp wired as a current measurement amplifier that monitors the voltage drop across a 0.1 ohm resistor. The LM358 is specially suited for this type of circuit. The output of the first LM358 stage is further boosted and offset by the second LM358 stage. This produces a digital signal that drives the indicator LED through a current limiting resistor. If you dont want to add the Current Flow circuit, replace the 0.1 ohm resistor with a wire jumper.

Construction:
The circuit was built on a custom home-built circuit board, a hand-wired perf board would also make a good platform for this project. The LM317 regulator is mounted on an aluminum heat sink under the main board, the heat sink should be kept away from the two temperature sensors. The reference temperature sensor is mounted to a small piece of aluminum that is thermally isolated from the battery holder and the rest of the circuitry. All of the sub-components are mounted on a piece of plexiglass or another non conducting material.

Calibration:
Put the circuit in one location and allow the temperature to stabilize for an hour or so. Remove the Cal/[Latch] jumper. Adjust the 20 turn Calibrate trimmer a little bit past the point where the Charge/Done light turns red. Put the Cal/[Latch] jumper back.

Use:
The charger should only be used in a cool location with a fairly constant temperature. Install the batteries to charge in the battery holder, start with the negative side of the socket and connect the alligator clip to the + side of the last cell. Put a piece of insulating foam over the battery holder to keep the warmth in the battery. If the battery is already hot, allow it to cool down before starting the charge cycle. The Charging/Done light should now be green.

Push the Start switch and the Charging/Done light should turn red. The Current Flow light should turn on, if it doesnt, try reseating the cells in the holder. After some amount of charging, the battery will warm up, the Charging/Done light will turn green and the battery charge cycle be finished. If you want to equalize the weaker cells in the battery, allow the pack to cool down then run another charging cycle, the second time should not take very long.

A short-circuit proof battery charger will provide an average charging current of about 8A to a 12V lead-acid storage battery. The Charger circuit has an additional advantage, it will not function nor will it be damaged by improperly connecting the battery to the circuit. With 220V at the input , the circuit comences to function when the battery is properly attached.
simple battery charger
The battery provides the current to charge the timing capacitor C1 used in the PUT relaxation oscillator.When C1 charges to the peak point voltage the PUT , the PUT fires turning the SCR on , which in turn applies charging current to the battery. As the battery charges , the battery voltage increases slightly which increases the peak point voltage of the PUT. The voltage on C1 increases until the zener voltage of D1 is reached , which clamps the voltage on C1 , and thus prevents the PUT oscillator from oscillating and charging ceases. The maximum battery voltage is set by potentiometer R2 which sets the peak point firing voltage pf the PUT . In the circuit shown , the charging voltage can be set from 10 V to 14 V - the Lower limit being set by D1 and the upper limit by T1.
