I designed a compact, standalone Li-ion battery charger that is simple to build, extremely affordable, and easy to integrate directly into projects.

The following automatic battery-charger design is created with a circuit that could qualify as the simplest window comparator ever built around a single transistor (see the figure). It starts charging ...

When we saw [Max.K]’s automatic NiMh battery charger float past in the Hackaday tips line, it brought to mind a charger that might be automatic in the sense that any modern microcontroller based ...

This automatic NiCd charger for 9V NiCd batteries is using 555 timer properties and is very easy to build. Why is an automatic 9 volts NiCd battery charger? Because you can leave the battery for ...

Testing a Li-ion battery charger using its natural load (i.e., a battery) is time consuming because the charging process can take an hour or more. The test time varies widely, depending on whether you ...

This circuit is an alternative to expensive battery chargers, the trick to lower the cost is to buy a cheap battery charger and expand it with an automatic charge breaker circuit such as the one ...
