ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Before all we would like to thank our almighty GOD for his help to win all challenges around us. I
would like to articulate my profound gratitude and indebtedness to my project guide
Inst.V.Surendranath Choudary who has always been a constant motivation and guiding factor
throughout the project time in and out as well. It has been a great pleasure for me to get
opportunity to work under him and complete the project successfully. This is the fact that no vision
or great work is accomplished without help from other people. Many individuals have supported
and contributed to this project and we are deeply grateful to them. We are also grateful to all our
friends and all those were volunteers for guidance in the successful completion of our project

ABSTRACT
In this project, charger is designed for 12V sealed lead-acid batteries. The designed device consists of
circuit components which performs charging.
Main charger circuit is Voltage controlled (when adjusted charge value of voltage reference less than
battery its charging but if it is greater than battery charging should be stops charging) LEDS are used
to show charging state. One of remaining LEDS is used to show working the device(power) and
other one is used to show charging.
Design is simulated by proteus simulation software Solutions were brought to problems that were
noticed during tests. Our objective was to design a cheap, versatile and efficient lead acid car
battery charger which will interest and appeal to the “cost-minded” customer. Lead-acid batteries
are finding considerable use as both primary and backup power sources. For complete battery
utilization, the charger circuit must charge the battery to full capacity, while minimizing over-
charging for extended battery life. In our circuit we have used a voltage regulator and comparator
to regulate the voltage supply to the battery for effective charging
