hubble Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi Sir, I am quite new to electronics. I have a modem (from Teracom) powered by 12v(DC) 1.5Amps adapter. I want to run this modem using a 12v battery which needs to be automatically charged using 230V 50Hz AC power. I came across many schematics when searching on the internet. Following are the two links I think we can start with:http://www.circuit-projects.com/battery/charger-circuit-for-6v-or-12v-car-battery.htmlhttp://electronicsuite.com/power-supply-2/12v-car-battery-charger-suite/#axzz1QP3aTqRgI have a 12V 4.5Ah battery. Can you please help me start designing the circuit?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubble Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Did I post the question in the wrong forum???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 No, this is the correct forum.You've not received any replies because you've asked a question then posted a link containing the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubble Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks Hero999 for your quick response. Although I posted a few links but I am not sure whether these circuits are really reliable. I mean as I am new to electronics I don't know whether these really are the circuits to start with. If they work perfectly then I am going to start my project.Thanks.

Hero999 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 The first circuit seems to be the best one.Ideally the battery should be charged at a constant current until the voltage reaches 14.5V, then the current is stopped until the voltage falls to 13.8V at which point the charger can be switched to float mode which just regulates the voltage at 13.8V indefinitely so the batteries can safely be left connected without either overcharging or discharging.

hubble Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks a lot Hero999. I am going start this project as soon as possible. Thanks again for helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubble Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi, I am almost done with designing the PCB. But one more question I want to ask is: Should I directly connect the battery to the modem or is there a need of any isolation or some kind of protection circuit required; like current limiting.Any suggestion will be appreciated.Thanks.

ARUN CHOWDARY Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 use the regulator circuit for protection of battery and over current protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubble Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Thanks Arun for your time. I have already implemented over current protection circuit but I am going to use regulator circuit as well.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
