This battery charger is for 12V Seales Lead Acid (SLA) battery. It is actually a half-wave rectifier. It only charges the battery on every half cycle. The plug pack doesn’t like this as it leaves residual flux in the core of the transformer and causes it to overheat. There are a number of points we [...]

This Batteries Charger is intended for charging sealed lead-acid batteries with a solar panel in small and portable applications. The customary diode that prevents the battery from discharging through the solar panel has been replaced by a FET-comparator combination. The batteries charger will stop charging once a pre-set voltage (temperature compensated) has been reached, and [...]
