Power Supply Adapter

This is the circuit diagram of 12V NiCAD battery charger. The battery charger charging rate is at 200mA/Hour. The battery charger circuit will continue to charge the battery at 75 mA until the battery is fully charged, then it reduces the current to a trickle rate. It will fully recharge a dead/unpowered battery in 4 hours and the battery can be left in the charger indefinitely. To set the shut off point, connect a 270 ohm / 2 Watt resistor across the charge terminals and adjust the potensiometer for 15.5V across the resistor.

The output voltage of this power supply circuit can be adjusted from 6 volt to 12 volt. The output voltage is regulated by Q1. Parts List: R1 = 470 ohm, 5% R2 = 1K, 5% P1 = 10K ohm Potentiometer C1 = 1000uF/25V T1 = 115[220]/8VAC transformer. Center Tap not needed. Q1 = 2N1613, NTE128, or substitute. (TO-39 case) On coolrib! BR1 = 40V, 4A. (Check max current of your mini-drill and add 2A) Notes: C1 filters the noise and spikes off the AC. If you find the circuit output too noisy add another electrolytic capacitor over the output terminals. Value can be between 10 and 100uF/25V. 10K-potentiometer used to adjust the output voltage. The transformer input voltage refer to your home power source. You may change the bridge diode with four rectifier diodes.

The following diagram is the circuit diagram of battery charger that can be used to re-charge your lithium batteries. The charging with a constant current of 60 mA for AA batteries for a sequestration of 2.4 V per cell, when the charge should be terminated. The charging system is indicated for the battery to several cells of 2-6 cells connected series or series / parallel arrangements. It is important that all cells are assembled in the package is in the same state-of charge (voltage) before loading. upper cut-off voltage is 15.6 V (6 x 2.6 V). ICL7665 is a voltage monitor with dualover / under voltage detection. Battery Charger circuit for Lithium Battery

Here the simple 5V regulated power supply circuit which featured overvolatage protection. The circuit work: This circuit uses the crowbar method, where a thyristor is employed and short circuits the supply, causing the fuse to blow. This will take place in a few microseconds or less, and so offers much greater protection than an ordinary fuse. If the output voltage exceed 5.6Volt, then the zener diode will conduct, switching on the thyristor (all in a few microseconds), the output voltage is therefore reduced to 0 volts and sensitive logic IC's will be saved. The fuse will still take a few hundred milliseconds to blow but this is not important now because the supply to the circuit is already at zero volts and no damage can be done. The dc input to the regulator needs to be a few volts higher than the regulator voltage. Read more circuit explanation at http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Circuits/Power/overvolt.htm

L1 is a custom inductor wound with about 80 turns of 0.5mm magnet wire around a toroidal core with a 40mm outside diameter. 2. Different values of D3 can be used to get different output voltages from about 0.6V to around 30V. Note that at higher voltages the circuit might not perform as well and may not produce as much current. You may also need to use a larger C3 for higher voltages and/or higher currents. 3. You can use a larger value for capacitor C3 to provide better filtering. 4. The circuit will require about 2A from the 6V supply to provide the full 800mA at 12V. 6VDC to 12VDV Converter circuit, source: http:/
