The Charger Extends Lead-Acid Battery Life Circuit Diagram furnishes an initial charging voltage of 2.5 V per cell at 25°C to rapidly charge a battery. The charging current decreases as the battery charges, and
when the current drops to 180 mA, the charging circuit reduces the
output voltage to 2.35 V per cell, floating the battery in a fully
charged state.
This lower voltage prevents the battery from
overcharging, which would shorten its life. The LM301A compares the
voltage drop across R1 with an 18-mV reference set by R2. The
comparator`s output controls the voltage regulator, forcing it to
produce the lower float voltage when the battery-chaiging current
passing through R1 drops below 180 mA. the 150-mV difference between the
charge and float voltages is set by the ratio of R3 to R4. The LEDs
show the state of the circuit .
