Solar Panel Lead Acid Batteries Charger


Solar Panel Lead-Acid Batteries Charger Schematic


This Batteries Charger is advised for charging closed lead-acid batteries with a solar console in baby and carriageable applications. The accepted diode that prevents the array from absolution through the solar console has been replaced by a FET-comparator combination.

The batteries charger will stop charging already a pre-set voltage (temperature compensated) has been reached, and recommence charging aback the voltage has alone off sufficiently. The amount is broken aback the array voltage drops beneath 11V and reconnected aback it gets aback to 12.5V.

The batteries charger ambit has the afterward features:

* Charges until Vbat = 13.8V (adjustable), again float charges;

* Shuts bottomward amount aback Vbat <11v (adjustable), resets at 12.5v;

* Temperature compensation;

* Will assignment with bargain and readily accessible apparatus like LM393 comparators and BUZ11 FETs;

* Uses beneath than 0.5mA aback application TLC393 comparators;

* Burns beneath than 20mW in FETs aback charging at 0,5A. (More big-ticket FETs with a lower RDSON will crop alike bigger results). Note that the charging accepted is bound alone by the solar console used.

Build a Charger Extends Lead Acid Battery Life Wiring diagram Schematic

The Charger Extends Lead-Acid Battery Life Circuit Diagram furnishes an initial charging voltage of 2.5 V per cell at 25°C to rapidly charge a battery. The charging current decreases as the battery charges, and when the current drops to 180 mA, the charging schema reduces the output voltage to 2.35 V per cell, floating the battery in a fully charged state. 

This lower voltage prevents the battery from overcharging, which would shorten its life. The LM301A compares the voltage drop across R1 with an 18-mV reference set by R2. The comparator`s output controls the voltage regulator, forcing it to produce the lower float voltage when the battery-chaiging current passing through R1 drops below 180 mA. the 150-mV difference between the charge and float voltages is set by the ratio of R3 to R4. The LEDs show the state of the schema .
