Mobile cellphone charge

While travelling charging of mobile battery is great problem because power supply
source is not generally accessible. Here is a simple project using very common
electronics components for charging mobile battery using AA cells.


Circuit descriptions of mobile cellphone charger
The main part of the circuit mobile cellphone charger is timer IC NE555, used to charge
and monitor the voltage level. IC
1
get control voltage to pin 5 by zener diode ZD
1
.
Threshold pin 6 and trigger pin 2 is supplied with a voltage set by VR
1
and
VR
2
respectively. The trigger pin 2 of IC
1
is below 1/3V
CC
when discharge battery is
connected to the circuit as a result flip-flop of IC
1
is switched on to take output pin 3 high.
The process is reversed when battery is fully charged of charged battery is connected.
Here transistor T
1
used to enhance the charging current from output pin 3 of IC
1
. Adjust
potentiometer VR
1
and VR
2
as per require.
LED status for different charging conditions
Load across the output Output frequency (at pin 3) LED

No battery connected 765 kHz On
Charging battery 4.5 Hz Blink
Fully charged battery 0 Off
