DN1 • 4 INTR ODUC TIO N With today’s e ver changing technologies, more appliances dep end on battery power to enable t heir use. W hile this gives us greater freedom, it is often at the high cost of purchasing portable ener gy, or batteries, to run our portab le electronic gismos. Consider the cost of energy from our local electric company, abo[...]

DN1 • 5 oxidation reduction or “redox" chemical reaction in the cell, we effectively decrease th e chemically active sur face area inside the cell. The lo w er this surface area, the shorter the ba ttery’s life. Since you don’t try to recharge convention al batteries, yo u’ve never noticed this propert y until you star ted to use rec[...]

DN1 • 6 We designed our kit to change quickly and easil y adapt to a variet y of cell or battery pack typ es f or anything from video camcor ders to cordless phones. You can configure it for the number of batteries in your pack, discharge and charging rate. We’ll discuss this later as we’re assembling these sections of the circuit. DN1 CIRCUI[...]

DN1 • 7 Since we want the voltag e appearing at the IC to be equivalent to one cell, we first must “divide” th e cell vo ltage by the number of cells in the pac k. The ladder resistors R2 -R24 form an ef fective voltage divider circuit so th at the BAT (pin 7) voltage will be about 1. 25 V per cel l. The sw itch can increase or decrease the B[...]

DN1 • 12  1. Identify and install DPDT switch S2. Be sure to push the switches flat to the circuit board. Solder all six connections.  2. Install the other DPD T toggle power switch S3. Once again , be sure to push the component flush to the circuit board before soldering. We’ll start our “learn-as-you build” instructions with the pow[...]

DN1 • 13  11. Install R1, 1K ohm [brow n-black-red].  11. Install Q1, the power FET transistor [marked 7035]. Fo rm the leads as shown prior to installation. Bolt the regulator to the circuit board.  12. Install L1, the large axial leaded w ire wound inductor.  13. Install D1, 1N4937 fast recovery diode. Observe the correct polarity ![...]

DN1 • 14  23. Select two of the 1uF e lectrolytic capacitors and solder the ground leads together.Install them as C3. Bend the ground leads away from U1.  24. Install C1, the remaining 1uF cap acitor. The positive side should be faci ng R5 .  25. Install the Benchmark BQ200 3 IC. Notice that one end of the chip is marked with a do t, not[...]

DN1 • 18 SETTING UP THE SWITCHES You’ll need to configure the ro w of DIP s w itches for y our battery pack now. Since the minimum number of cells is at least one, the conditioner is already set up for a single battery to begin w ith. Switch No. 10 is reserved for the discha rging current setup. W hen it is closed the Doctor is in low current d[...]

Once this is accomplished, it will periodic ally “top off” the cells wi th a high current burst, and allow a slig ht trick le charge to f low . Unfortunately , about the o[...]

Many times we have older ba tteries or packs that don’t seem to hold a charge at all, but they were so expe nsive that we couldn’t bear to toss them in the trash. W ell, your fruga lity (so[...]
