Hi Vinod, > > The red LED should not glow all the time and turning the pot should change > the

Hi Swagatam, First of all let me say thank you for your fast replying. I will try your suggestions.
before that i need to confirm the changes you mentioned. I will attach an image consisting your
suggestions. So please confirm the changes in the circuit. -vinod chandran

Hi Vinod, That's perfect. Adjust the transistor base preset until the LED just starts glowing dimly
at around 14 volts, with no battery connected. Regards.
Hi Swagatam Your Idea is graet. The charger is working and now one LED is glowing to indicate
the charging is in progress. but how can i configure the charge full indicator LED. When i turn
the pot to ground side (means lower resistance) LED starts glowing. when resistance goes high
LED will be off. After 4 hours of charging my battery shows 13.00v. But that charge full LED is
off now. Plz help me.
I am sorry disturb you again. The last email was a mistake. i didn't see your suggestion
correctly. So please ignore that mail. Now i adust the 10k pot to 14.3v(it's quite difficult to
adjust the pot, because a slight variation will result a bigger voltage output. ). And i adjust the 1k
pot to glow a little. Is this charger supposed to indicate a 14v battery?. After all let me know the
danger level full charge of the battery. Once again thanks. regards vinod chandran
Hi Swagatam, As you suggested, everything was alright when i test the circuit from breadboard.
But after solder into PCB thing are happening strangely. The red LED is not working. charging
voltage is ok. Anyway i am attaching the image that shows the present condition of the circuit.
plz help me. After all let me ask you one thing. Could you please give me an automatic charger
circuit with a battery full indicator. ?.
Hi swagatam, Actually i am in the middle of your automatic charger with hysteresis feature. I
just added a few modifications . i will attach the circuit with this mail. plz check this out. If this
circuit is not ok then i can wait for you to tomorrow . regards vinod chandran

I forgot to ask one thing. My transformer is about 1 - 2 A. Idon't know what is the correct. how
can i test with my multimeter?. Besides if it is a 1A or 2A transformer, how can i reduce the
current to 700mA. regards
Hi Vinod,
The circuit is OK, but won't be accurate, will give you a lot of trouble > while adjusting.
A 1 amp transformer would provide 1amp when short circuited (check by connecting the meter
prods to the supply wires at 10amp range and set to either DC or AC depending upon the
output). Meaning the maximum power of is 1amp at zero volts. You may use it freely with a 7.5
ah battery, it won't do any harm, as the voltage would drop to the battery voltage level at
700ma current and the battery would get safely charged. But remember to disconnect the
battery when the voltage reaches 14 volts.
Anyway, a current control facility would be added in the circuit that I would be providing you,
so there's nothing to worry Regards.
Hi Vinod,
I'll provide you with a perfect and easy automatic circuit, please wait >> > until tomorrow.
Hi swagatam, I hope you will help me to find a better solution. Thank you. regards vinod

In the meantime, another keen follower of this blog Mr.Sandy also requested a similar
battery charger circuit through comments......
So finally I designed the circuit which will hopefully satisfy the needs of Mr.Vinod and Mr.Sandy
for the intended purpose.
The following figure shows an automatic 3 to 18 volts, voltage controlled, current controlled,
double stage battery charger circuit with standby charging feature.
