This circuit is intended for charging lead acid batteries up to a maximum of 7000Mah (7A / h) 12V PB. Charging is terminated when the battery reaches the set voltage when it is charged. The full voltage of such batteries is approximately 13.8 Volts. In order to achieve this value, the voltage measured on the battery during charging should reach approximately 14.4 volts. (It is 14.8V for full occupancy but it is better to stay a little under security.)
14.4V is the voltage value of the load during charging. When we disconnect the charging connection, the voltage becomes 13.8 and rapidly decreases to approximately 13.5 volts. This is a natural condition. When PB batteries fall below 11.8V, they should not be used. This may damage the battery. Continue to use after recharging.
WARNING: This circuit is for hobby purposes. Its work has been tested, but no long-term repeated tests have been performed. Charging has inherent risks. Use of this circuit is at your own risk.
