Nowadays, electronic indicators are used which provide or give a continuous reading of the battery condition.This method of course needs indicators to provide the measurement data of the current battery status, memory to store the battery. The Coulombic efficiency or charge acceptance is a measure of how much usable energy is available during discharging compared with the energy used to charge the cell. Losses in the battery during the charge - discharge cycle mean that the battery will deliver less charge during discharge than was put into it during charging. This is because of the Coulombic efficiency of the battery. It is not possible either to measure directly the effective charge in a battery by monitoring the actual charge put into it during charging. In most applications except perhaps in qualification testing, the user (or the system) needs to know how much charge is in the cell without discharging it.
Secondly, this method depends on discharging the battery to know how much charge it contained. Any measurement device must therefore be able to integrate current over time. In all practical batteries, the discharge current is not constant but diminishes as the battery becomes discharged, usually in a non-linear way. Unfortunately there are two problems with this. The charge in a battery is equal to the current multiplied by the time for which it flowed. This would be easy if the battery could be discharged at a constant rate.
#LOW BATTERY INDICATOR CIRCUIT FULL#
Knowing the amount of energy left in a battery compared with the energy it had when it was full gives the user an indication of how much longer a battery will continue to perform before it needs recharging. The IC contains adjustable reference and accurate 10-steps divider. Lm3914 drives led’s, LCDs and vacuum fluorescents. The operating voltage of this IC is 3v to 25v DC. The circuit will work even if the battery voltage is 3V. This device is designed to monitor 1.5V to 24V DC.
#LOW BATTERY INDICATOR CIRCUIT SERIES#
In this circuit there is no need of resistors in series with led’s because current is regulated by the IC. This IC takes input analog voltage and drives 10 LED’s linearly according to the input analog voltage. The heart of this battery level indicator circuit is LM3914 IC. So by using this circuit, we can increase the lifetime of battery. You can use this circuit to check car battery or inverter. This article explains you how design battery level indicator.
For example six LED’s are glowing means battery capacity 60% remains. Battery level indicator indicates the status of the battery just by glowing LED’s.
