-
-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.

-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.
-
-- Voltage up-step provided output is not very clean. Extra capacitors
- and induction coils could be added to remove high frequency noise in
- the voltage.
-
-- Metallic and shielded body would be helpful to reduce
- electromagnetic/radio noise generated by step-up.
