6V Solar Battery Charger Circuit Using LM317

The document describes a simple solar battery charger circuit for charging a 6V lead acid battery using an LM317 regulator IC. The circuit automatically cuts off charging when the battery reaches full charge of 6.8V to protect it from overcharging. An LED indicates when the battery is fully charged. The charger only works when the solar panel voltage is higher than the battery voltage. A list of components is provided to build the circuit, which uses common transistors, diodes, resistors, and a 6V battery.

6V Solar battery charger circuit using LM317

Today we are going to learn how to make a simple solar battery charger for 6V battery.
The solar charger we are going to make is based on LM317 regulator IC. When battery has reached is
full charge voltage (Battery voltage is higher than VDz + 0.7v), our charger circuit automatically cuts
the charging to protect the battery form damage. The LED light will indicate the full charge state in
the battery.
Our charger circuit will work only when the voltage level from the solar panel is much higher than the
battery voltage, unlike the solar charger with regulator and controller that can charge regardless the
solar voltage.

Part List:Solar - 12V solar cells array


C1 - 470uF electrolytic capacitor rated 25V
D1, D2 - 1N5400 or any rectifier diode rated 2A minimum

R1 - 3 kilo ohms 1/4Watt
R2 - 330 ohms 1/4Watt
R3 - 560 ohms 1/4Watt

R4 - 2 kilo ohms 1/4Watt

Q1 - 2N2222, CS9013, or similar NPN transistor
Bat - 6V lead acid battery
Make the above simple circuit to charge your 6V battery from clean and environment friendly energy.
