Ni Cd Battery Charger 12 18V Circuit Diagram
Build a Ni-Cd Battery Charger 12-18V Circuit Diagram. A clever charger circuit that safely can charge any Ni-Cd battery. Offers charge current selection, polarization detection and protection and the ability to connect many battery's in series. Ni-Cd Battery Charger 12-18V Circuit Diagram Ni-Cd batteries can be recharged more than 1000 times before become useless. the charging current should be the 1/10 of the (Ah) of the battery. The batteries need 14 hours to be fully charged.. Switch S2 is the current selection as follows: 50mA, 200mA and 400mA. LED D10 is the indicator for proper battery connection and/or wrong polarity checking. LED D9 is the charging indicator. The transformer is a 220V/2x12V 0.5A.
