sorry that discussion didnt answer any of my questions so plz reply I have made the circuit and with no battery connected it is 7 V at the output terminals So plz tell me how to check that is it charging or not
Have you tried connecting the circuit to a battery and adjusting it as it says on the page? What is the voltage of the battery before you connect the circuit?
Hi I have Connected it with the battery The circuit without the battery gives 7.7V. the voltage of the battery is 12V before it was connected to the circuit. And After the battery is connected it is 13V
So how may i check that the circuit is charging or not?
You answered your own question. Once the battery is connected, it is at 13V. Therefore it is charging. Now follow the instructions on the page to adjust the charge voltage.
thx very much frnd you helped me a lot what is your opinion abt connecting an ammeter to the output to measure the charging current. I am talking abt the null ammeter i.e 10A 0 10A

sir can you please give me the detailed description about circuit operation of automatic 12v lead acid battery charger and also the functioning of each component.please sir please reply i am doing my enginering project on this kindly help.
It will charge any size battery. But the circuit is limited to about 5A max of current, meaning that it will take a very LONG time to charge high capacity batteries.
i also want to know how to set the charge voltage. It is explained on the the page where circuit is displayed but i have some confusion.
Do i have to wait until the battery is fully charged to set the charge voltage? if yes then for the first time, how would i know that now the battery is fully charged?
or i can just connect the battery, switch on the charger and measure the voltage on output terminals (which should be 13.8V for 12V battery) and then wait until LED gets ON?
and do i have to use the transformer with secondary voltage of 12V or it be slightly higher i.e 13 - 14V?
