For example, vehicle batteries. Here is a simple Battery Monitor circuit for a brisk check of a 12volt Lead-Acid Battery. The circuit fabricates with the help of the LM3914 and a few other components with 10 LEDs which will indicate the voltage level. Battery charge should be continually observed to monitor the life of the battery.
The terminal voltage of the Lead-Acid battery should be within a certain range such as 12 to 13Volt. In the event that the battery voltage lessens beneath 10 volts for a long period, the battery won’t accept any charging current. Thus, if the terminal voltage surpasses over 14 volts, the battery will be devastated.
Overcharge as well as undercharge will decrease the battery life. The terminal voltage of the Lead-Acid battery should be within a certain range such as 12 to 13Volt. In the event that the battery voltage lessens beneath 10 volts for a long period, the battery won’t accept any charging current.
The circuit of Figure 1 protects a lead-acid battery by disconnecting its load in the presence of excessive current (more than 5A), or a low terminal voltage indicating excessive discharge (< 10.5V). The battery and load are connected by a 0.025Ω current-sense resistor (R1) and p-channel power MOSFET (T1).
With the above component values it will cut out at 11.2V and re-activate at 12V, which is good for most sealed lead acid batteries. There is also second comparator – this is purely acting as a logic inverter, because I needed a negative logic output. If you don’t need it, leave it out.
In this project, we will show you a battery monitor circuit that can utilize to monitor the voltage of 12V lead-acid batteries. For example, vehicle batteries. Here is a simple Battery Monitor circuit for a brisk check of a 12volt Lead-Acid Battery.
