Batteries charger & PSU - ideal for digital cameras
This circuit was created for digital cameras. It's known the digital cameras have considerable power consumption. For example my camera Minolta E223 requires approximately 800 mA. In practice a mains power supply or high capacity NiMH accumulators (batteries) can satisfy this demand.
This circuit consists of two parts, charger and adapter. The transformer,
rectifier bridge and buffer condensator are common. Adapter is quite simply its
main part is an adjustable voltage regulator LM 317 according to usual setting.
Output is a suitable for camera jack plug. Voltage can be adjusted in range 2-9
V.
In the charger circuit a 7805 fixed voltage regulator works as current generator
assured constant current during charging. This charging current can be adjusted
with the 100 /1W potentiometer in range about 50-300 mA indicated by a small
current measuring instrument. From one to four batteries can be charged
simultaneously. The switch must be set according to number of batteries, and
charging current of batteries given by manufacturer must be adjusted. This
circuit doesn't measure charging time and charging condition of batteries.
Manufacturers give charging time, usually 14-16 h. I solved this problem with a
simply, cheap mechanical mains timer. I think its accuracy is sufficient.
