Gell Cell Charger
I have been using the 12 volt 5 amp gell
cells as a voltage source, when I experiment with several different electronic
circuits.
I experienced the
problem of the 12 volt gell cell, losing some voltage
after being used for several hours. This led me to trying to find
a charging circuit, on the internet, using Google, and going
to Gell Cell Chargers. I found several circuits, and
picked out the circuit
by KD5UDB which I built, and am now using. It has a voltage
adjustment, as well as a current adjustment.
One of the
problems that I had, after collecting the parts, was finding a one ohm
resister. I solved the problem by putting,
ten, ten ohm resistors, in parallel. This gave me one ohm, which
is used to sample the current. The circuit was built on perf.
(Perforated) board
and I use it to recharge my 12 volt gell cells. Enclosed is a copy of the
circuit.
