Auto turn of Battery Charger

Introduction
An auto turn of battery charger circuit is a device that can
automatically stop charging a battery when appropriate charging is
done.

Battery chargers come as simple, trickle, timer based, intelligent,

universal battery charger-analyzers, fast, pulse, inductive, USB based,
solar chargers and motion powered chargers.

These battery chargers also vary depending on the applications like

mobile phone charger, battery charger for vehicles, electric vehicle
batteries chargers and charge stations.
Charging methods are classified into two
categories:
Fast charge method
Slow charge method

Fast charge is a system used to recharge a battery in about two hours

or less than this.

The slow charge is a system used to recharge a battery throughout

the night.

Slow charging is advantageous as it does not require any charge

detection circuit.

The only drawback of this charging system is that it takes maximum

time to recharge a battery.

Auto-Turn off Battery Charger
The aim of this project is to automatically disconnect a battery from
the mains when the battery gets fully charged.

This system can be used to charge partially discharged cells as well.

The circuit is simple and consists of AC-DC converter, relay drivers

and charge stations.

 Circuit Description

In an AC-DC converter section, the transformer step-downs the

available AC supply to 6AC at 75o mA which is rectified by using a
full wave rectifier, and then filtered by the capacitor.

The output of the capacitor is now applied to the LM317 voltage

regulater to provide regulated DC voltage.

The output voltage from voltage regulater is variable from 1.2v to

37v and maximun output current is 1.5A.

The output voltage of the voltage regulator is varied by varying the

pot 10k which is connected to the adjust pin of 317.

LM 317 voltage regulator output is applied to the battery through the

diode and resister.
 Diode is between battery and voltage regulator in order to prevent
discharge of battery.

When battery gets fully charged,the Zener diode connected in

reverse bias conducts,now the base of transistor gets current through
Zener diode so that the rest supply current gets grounded.

A resister is connected to LED in order to prevent it from high voltage.
