Simple Controller
Simple Charge Controller
I wanted to charge my batteries from solar power.
I decided to build a charge controller that behaves similar to the
SunForce
solar charge controller.
My controller would turn on when the voltage of the battery pack is under
a preset value and turn off when the voltage is over a preset value.
I think this scheme is fine for topping off a lead acid battery, but it is
not the best for completely charging a lead acid battery. NiCD and NiMH
will require a completely different scheme.
