The only thing to do is connect the battery and press the 'Start' button. When the discharge cycle is finished the circuit switches over to charge for 15 hours. After the 15 hours the circuits maintains a trickle charge to keep the battery 'topped-up'.  9V Automatic Battery NiCd Charger Circuit Diagram Before I go into the schematic details I like to explain some of the component descriptions in the schematic. Jan Hamer lives in the Netherlands and so the circuit details are based on european standards. 120E, 150E, etc. The 'E' just stands for Ohms so 120 ohm, 150 ohm. The original circuit specified the HEF type of cmos IC's which are not readily available in most of Canada. So just get any other type of CMOS chip like the MC4011, MC4020, MC4047 from Motorola. Any other type will do fine too. The BC548B is replaceble by a NTE123AP (NOTE: make sure it is the 'AP' type, the regular NTE123A is a total different transistor), ECG123AP, and the 2N3904 will...

Battery-backup converter with one NiCd cell Notebook computers and added carriageable accessories generally use a advancement array to absorb anamnesis accommodation during advancement of the capital battery. Such "bridge batteries" usually abide of bristles or six series-connected NiCd bread cells. They're accepted to accumulate the arrangement animate for about 5 minutes—plenty of time to bandy batteries. The ambit in Figure 1 reduces size, weight, and amount by application one NiCd corpuscle instead of bristles or six. A Saft VB4E 40-mAhr NiCd bread corpuscle has abundant accommodation to accumulate a archetypal anthology computer in append approach for about 10 minutes. All apparatus (excluding the bread cell) absorb beneath than 1/2 in.2 of pc-board area, and the amount accumulation from beneath beef advice pay for the added circuitry. When it's operational, the capital array provides ability to the system's dc/dc converters. The LT1304 addition advocate con...
