Battery charger circuit diagram [Without using Transformer]

admin Electronics no comments

Ni-Cd , Ni-HM and other rechargeable batteries are in massive use now a days. Let me not describe the use , importance and bla bla of the rechargeable batteries. What we are going to talk about here is how to make simple battery charger circuit to recharge your rechargeable batteries. Making a battery charger circuit is very simple , Simply step down the mains voltage using a step down transformer and convert the current into DC and stabilize it using a bridge rectifier circuit. But you might not want to use a transformer in your circuit to maker your battery charger circuit small and handy. If you dont want to use a a transformer to step down the mains voltage then you can also use a resistor and a capacitor to step down the voltage and stabilize it. And you can see the circuit diagram of a battery charger below which is not using any transformer. Battery charger circuit diagram: So here is a simple battery charger circuit diagram: Click on the image to enlarge it:

Battery charger circuit diagram You can see the values of the components used below: R1: 56 giga ohms resistor R2: 220 Mega ohms resistor C1: 105 Kilo pico farad , 250 voltage capacitor D1: IN 4007 Diode D2: Light emitting diode indicator D3 : IN 4007 Diode If you use the values of the components stated above the circuit can recharge a 3 voltage rechargeable battery , You can change the value of R1 and C1 to get recharge battery of more voltage.
