+
+Simple charger and terminal (front-end) for 12V lead-acid battery. +
+ ++Idea is to distribute power from rechargeable 12V battery to various +appliances (soldering iron, radio transmitters, etc..) while also +providing use-charging in the background. +
+ ++Single on/off button disconnects battery and up-step voltage source +from front panel terminal connectors. +
+ ++Tecnoiot MT3608 voltage up-step is used. 3V DC external power supply +is used to feed voltage up-step. Up-step is tuned to ~14.4 V. +
+ + +
+
+Current design is rather of blog (experience sharing) value. It has +quite some drawbacks: +
+ +-
+
- Warning: Circuit has dangerous instability. Requires low voltage +~3V but relatively high current external power supply. Using +higher voltage but low current power supply could easily lead to +situation where step-up generated load pushes power supply output +voltage down too much. This leads to too much power being lost +within power supply and easily leads to power supply overheating! + + +
- There is no dedicated current limiter. 3V external power supply +and up-step are acting as current limiters. + + +
- While RCA connectors do work as DC power connectors, but are not +intended to be used this way and are not very reliable. + +
