thank you very much.... one last quesation, do you know wat output current it would generate? knowing it will give me an idea on how long it would charge batteries of diferrent type. thanks....

The maximum current is set by the rating of T1. How much current the battery will accept depends on the voltage you charge it at. This cicuit will generally supply 3-5A of current if you have a transformer capable.

The charge time depends on how long it takes the battery to reach it's fully charged voltage. It's entirely dependant on the batter itself.

Thanks Aaron for the answer. I have a new question, i cant find R2 (100 ohm pot). I found a 1k ohm variable resistor, can you tell me how can i change the resistors with R2 value 1k ohm?. Thanks gg.

Hi guys, I have another question. How can i reduce more the oscillation effects?. In my cricuit i have a little oscillation when batery is becoming final charge. Thanx.
For information, I put in my circuit a full wave rectifier and it never charge the battery. Maybe its necesary to change some resistors values.

You can use fixed value resistors for R2 as it's purpose is to just set the final charge voltage of the circuit. The trick is you will need to try a bunch of values to get the proper finish voltage. Or get a 50 Ohm pot and put a 50 ohm resistor in series, or any combination of the above.

The oscillation is normal.

The full wave rectifier will not work as the SCR needs the voltage to fall to zero in order to turn it off.

one more thing if i wanna make it a 10 A charger should i just change the T1 or i need to change Q1 and Q2 too?

Looking at the circuit, you can see that nothing limits charge current except for T1, D1 and Q1.

what if i wanna linit the charge to a high voltsge snd a low voltage?? for example to stop charging at 13,8V and to start again at 11.8V plz if u can help me as soon as posible cz i really need to implement the circuit

ok i did the circuit i just need to know should i leave it to charge then the light will turn on and i can adjust it or what should i do cz until now the light is not turning on even though iv been chrging it for 30 min and the volt meter on the end reads 13.6v while the battery is conected plz if someone could help me i apretiate it :)

im geting 6v to 7v on the output mt T1 is 220-12 5A
is that normal cz i think with this voltage Q2 will never turn on right?

The circuit will automatically begin charging again if the battery voltage falls below the turn off point. This is why it is "automatic" and not "manual".

You need to adjust the finish voltage as per the instructions on the site site before the light will work properly. Have you followed these instructions?
