Simple Photovoltaic Charger – Solar Power module with Back-Up
https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/simple-photovoltaic-charger-solar-power-module-with-back-up/
A simple photovoltaic (PV) to Li-On battery charger project is described here. At low VCC voltage, PV current flows to both the system at VCC and the battery. When VCC reaches the programmed float voltage (4.1V with ADJ floating), the LTC4071 shunts excess current not used by the load, limiting VCC to 4.1V and effectively […]

Overcurrent / Over-discharge Protector for Lead Acid Batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/overcurrent-over-discharge-protector-for-lead-acid-batteries/
The project described here protects and monitors a Lead-Acid battery against too-low battery voltage and over-current conditions. The circuit consists of MAX4373 current-sense amplifier with internal dual comparators and P-channel MOSFET in series with the battery and its load. It works as a normally closed switch which can be opened if the current-sense amplifier and […]
Deep Discharge Protector for 3.6V Li-Ion Battery
https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/deep-discharge-protector-for-3-6v-li-ion-battery/
A rechargeable battery’s load should be disconnected at the point of complete discharge, to avoid a further (deep) discharge that can shorten its life or destroy it. Because a battery’s terminal voltage recovers when you disconnect the load, you can’t simply disconnect the load when the terminal voltage dips below the established threshold and then […]

Low Voltage Lead Acid Battery Disconnect board – Prevents Deep Discharge Of 12V Lead Acid Battery
https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/low-voltage-lead-acid-battery-disconnect-board-prevents-deep-discharge-of-12v-lead-acid-battery/
This project helps to optimize the 12V lead-acid (SLA) battery life as it prevents the battery from going into deep discharge. It is very important to disconnect the load before the battery enters into deep discharge as this may destroy or damage the battery cells. The circuit shown here turns off the load before the […]
