Hi everyone this is my first message so sorry for my faults....

I am looking for a battery charger circuit controlled with pic( 16fxxx series) but i can not find in the net a suitable one. I want to charge a lead acid battery. (12V) .  I need a pic controlled charger because i also want to use this circuit for control a TEC peltier device. Thanks  for you attention

It would be difficult to sense battery current , with resistance etc , I would reccomend you to use some Battery managemant ICs from manufacturers like LTC, Maxim , Fuel gauges(TM) . To ease your situation,. Otherwise you would have to sense the battery voltage and current, and try to limit the charging current by switching the current waveform with a MOSFET or other such a device. But the question it will be a headache measuring battery current , I mean charging.

go to maxim-ic web site. they are a lot of application notes and ic which you can sample

Here is PIC Power supply Unit, you can use it for the battery charging too. OR you can modify it for charging. There are many circuit available for the charger. (but not with PIC).

this psu uploaded by awarapunshee was pulled off the net by the author because it wasn't working properly but if you search the forum you will find a fix for it on another thread just can't remember where Grin

There is in microchip's application notes website.

awarapunshee ,He seems to need a smart battery charger ,PSU doesnt seems to be a good Idea as the topologies are different , I mean to say what will one do in events of when the battery is fully drained . I would suggest a CVT and a full bridge rectifier and a fat Aluminium electrolyte capacitor at the output  for charging a battery instead od a PSU though Smiley

Hey you might want to check this out.

I'ts an application note from maxim with guidelines on how to build the hardware parts aswell as the software.

thanks for your attention.
I am living in Turkey and sometimes it is very difficult to find specific IC(But i can buy it from farnell).

Trishool, why it is difficult to sense the charcing currunt with resistor. May I  use 1 ohm resistor and read the voltage with ADC ? or will be there problem.

May I  use 1 ohm resistor and read the voltage with ADC ? or will be there problem.

I think you are in the right path if you want it simple, really simple.

Big problem when you want to charge a battery is to know how much current you are putting in it.
A good solution is to charge with CONSTANT current.
And there is a very cheap , easy to get IC that does this, an LM317 programmable Voltage regulator. ( US$ 1 )

Attached is a Proteus simulation showing 2 LM317 s connected in differente ways.
Both are powered by an DC Voltage source ( in this case I used a 24 V Battery but could be any other DC voltage source , like Notebook adaptor , etc )

In the IC at top , it is connected as Voltage regulator , with 720 ohm resistor in Adj leg wich will give a good steady 5 Volt output ( for example a PIC power )
The other Resistor between Output leg and Adj leg 240 ohm is only to mantain a minimal current and the regulator active.
BUT , the important thing is that LM317 will ALWAYS try to mantain the VOLTAGE between Adj and Output legs in a value = 1.25 Volt . ALWAYS ! By design.
You can read the flowing current in the simulation an do the math for the 240 ohm resistor , Voltage acrosss it = 1.25 Volt , ALWAYS.

So , if , as you can see in the LM317 at bottom , you connect a 10 Ohm resistance between Output leg and Adj leg , the Voltage across it will be EXACTLY 1.25 Volt , and the current flowing = 0.125 A or 125 mA.  Beware that the power dissipated at this resistance can be high , Power = Volt x Current . If using an 1 ohm resistance you will have 1.25 A flowing and power will be 1.25 x 1.25 = 1.56 W.
Yo simply connect the Battery to charge , in SERIES with that particular resistance. ( use those big ceramic types )
There you have it , a CONSTANT current charger.

From there on you can monitor your charger with the PIC.
1.- Monitor battery voltage
2.- Monitor voltage across series resistance ---> gives you the current , etc.    I = V / R

Yo know the capacity of the battery you are charging so you can use a timer to control total charging time ( total current )
You can experiment voltage behaviour of particular battery as it is been charged and control charging time according to it , as an alternative.

For power sources I have succesfully used leftovers from audio equipment, pulled them out + Rectifying bridge + fat capacitor as mentioned above. This transformers will usually give you two outputs , 22 VAC and 15 VAC. and well above 1.5 A of LM317 capacity.

Hope this helps you.
Greetings

do you have a regulated dc input supply? If u donĀ“t then i think that the output current will be the most important aspect to be taken into account. If u could please especify this aspects we could help u better...

perhaps a L200c regulator, orginally designed for lead acid charging

http://www.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/1318.pdf

easy to measure I and V with a pic,, NOTE: do NOT put a lage capacitor on the output of any lead acid charger ( its the ripple current that does the charging, just look at your car charger, big transformer but no cap, or altinator big rectifer but no cap)
does not require constant current and or voltage
most 12v lead acid batteries will be damaged in no time if you discarge them below say 9v,( the plates buckle),if this is likely use a 'leasure' battery designed for deep cycle use

What about this one from here and it's wrote in basic and should be easy to port over to Proton or PBP or just just the compiler that come with oshonsoft pic simutlator IDE. Look very good

http://www.oshonsoft.com/picchargerlcd.html

I did convert this to Protn but when computer crashed I lost the file,  Angry may be I should back up more often

Bart,
 are  you charging batteries with the program you have written ? by the way its seems to be a nice program you have written , i was doing one with a pic16f877 but i stopped as lack of time. do you have the circuit in proteus format?
thank shailesh

Hi,
     Here is a good lead acid charger circuit controlled by pic micro.
          EPE-January 2007 & february2007
                                                          regards.

Micrichip has in this serie of processors a specialised processor .
There is also software for it i think it was called powertool 200 .
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/01015a.pdf
I didnt build this charger myself (yet) .
But i bumped into it doing some research about charging with microchip .
There are 3 different processors for lead acid ,nickel & lithium ion battery's .

Good luck .

You can measure current with an acs750 .
Its a current sensor based on the hall principia .
A low ohm resistor is ofcourse possible but you will have to write a routine to compensate the voltage over the resistor .
Something like , Vbatt = Vmeasured - (r * Imeasured)
Cheap dirty and a lil dissapative but if the power isnt to high its not much of a problem .
Personaly i use the acs whenever i need ampere readings to my micro's but thats personal i guess Smiley

Good luck .

You can build a circuits by yourself, you can use a programmable regulator with LM2576-adj. find a datasheet of LM2576 on the internet and repleacement R2 with digital potensiometer like DS1267. Now U can just program it by PIC to chargeing a lead acid battery
