PCB Design: The PCB diagram for 12V Lead Acid Battery Charger Circuit is designed using
Proteus 8.1. Actual size solder side and component side PCB design is shown below. As this
PCB is single layer, thus we require jumper in component side as shown in PCB diagram
below. You can download PCB diagram in PDF format from the link below.

Have this circuit been tested in real life ie charging a real car battery?

Kostas Ioanidis • 7 months ago

Hi, just have one question - do you need to leave J3 all the time or just when you do
the settings and after remove it? in the circuit only J2 stays in working circuit or I am
wrong?

BestEngineeringProjects Mod > Kostas Ioanidis • 7 months ago

Hi Kostas loanidis,
You need to remove jumper J2 and J3 only while setting after than you have
to connect these two jumper all the time
△ ▽ • Reply • Share ›

Kostas Ioanidis > BestEngineeringProjects • 7 months ago

Thanks, but if these 2 jumpers are connected bc547 is directly
connected to GND between emiter and base, it is the same point
yes? So even lm358 gives high output on pin 1 the bc547 which is 12
volts, base voltage will be zero and will not trigger bc547 and drop the
voltage to 13.4, even when you do settings if you leave J3 and
connect J2 , VR3 does not do anything. I have build the circuit and
tested with all the possibilities and that is why i am asking, with J3
connected the charging voltage remains at 14.1 and yes fully charged
LED is activated but the output voltage does not drop to oat voltage,
without J3 disconnected everything seams to work in perfect
order.And another thing registering battery as dead or healthy you just
now if the battery is bellow 9v or above, but it does not tell you the
real condition of the battery if all the cells are ok or not. So if the
battery is really dead dead, damaged cell or cells, you may still have
min. of 9 volts and start charging the battery but you will never get
charged battery if it is really dead. And the piezo buzzer does not
work you need additional circuit to run the buzzer.

But thanks for the circuit it is a good project and idea for further
innovations.

thank you for your answer, also i have one more question, was this
circuit tested in real life and if, it is working o.k.?
