Description.
A simple battery charger based on SCR is shown here.Here the SCR rectifies the AC mains voltage to charge the battery.When the battery connected to the charger gets discharged the battery voltage gets dropped.This inhibits the forward biasing voltage from reaching the base of the transistor Q1 through R4 and D2.This switches off the transistor.When the transistor is turned OFF,the gate of SCR (H1) gets the triggering voltage via R1 & D3.This makes the SCR to conduct and it starts to rectify the AC input voltage.The rectified voltage is given to the battery through the resistor R6(5W).This starts charging of the battery.
When the battery is completely charged the base of Q1 gets the forward bias signal through the voltage divider circuit made of R3,R4,R5 and D2.This turns the transistor ON.When the Q1 is turned ON the trigger voltage at the gate of SCR is cut off and the SCR is turned OFF.In this condition a very small amount of charge reaches the battery via R2 and D4 for trickle charging.Since the charging voltage is only half wave rectified ,this type of charger is suitable only for slow charging.For fast charging full wave rectified charging voltage is needed.

Hi john you leave collector (no connections)DC548 should be available. you can use 2N2222.
BC148 is not available in the market here. can i use any npn gen purpose transistor like 2N2222?
thank you sir seetharaman. how about the collector of the BC148? where do i connect it?
Hi John Any 6Amps SCR you can use. for SD50 use base emitter junction of BC148.
hello,
i inquire in the market for the components but not available in our place. will you help me for the substitute for the SCR, Transistor and SD50 diode on above circuit? thank you in advance…
Hi Jacob for charging 200AH battery you require a charger capable of 50 amps for initial charging and there after around 10 to 20amps.. if only for trickling to just maintain the terminal potential against self discharge you require 10amps current, which is not available in the above circuit.
you have to replace and upgrade almost all existing components including transformer to suit your requirements.

Hi Marinus I have made one ready with 12volt 7AH battery and 21 LEDs. send your email to seethasub@hotmail.com
Dear someone.I am looking for a 12v sealed lead acid battery charger circuit, the battery must operate leds ,and when the battery goes below 10volt, switches off automatically, it must now be charged again to its full capacity, and so on and so on.
Looking forward in hearing from anyone, thanks a lot. Regards.
Marinus
Hi Vinu what is the battery voltage and AH rating. If it is lead acid battery the charging voltge should be regulated at 115% of the rated voltage of the battery. the current limit should be 25% to 30% of the rated capacity of the battery. These are the safe limits as recommended by the battery manufacturers.
i have a inverter , the charging method is not good,for current limitting capacitor is used ,so the fixed cuurent is going to the battery, so battery not fully charged,any circuit for current limiting instad of using capacitor,
the transformer voltage is 0v-160v -230v
i need charger like when the battery voltage increase the current will low,and the battery voltage low the current is high , current rating is 5A to 10A,any circuit for this.
Hi Kim you are right if the charger is off and only the battery is connected the wrong way. once you switch on the charger the fuse will blow due to battery voltage and charger voltage appearing across R6 Diode and resistance. I agree the diode is ultimately not going to serve any special purpose.
battery will not get over charged once the terminal voltage of the battery reaches the rated voltage of 13.6volt. the diode anode voltage will be more by 0.7 volt, you adjust the pot in such a way the terminal voltage at the battery including the diode is limitted to 13.6volt.
the other solution to protect battery reversal will be connect a 6Amp diode, anode to negative and cathode to R1 f1 Junction. If you reverse the battery the fuse will blow indicating the problem.
with the existing circuit if you reverse the battery and connect. battery voltage in series with charging voltage will appear across R6 and fuse, a very high current will flow, which will blow the fuse. Without R6 the entire voltage will appear across the thyrister the current will shoot up and it may blow the thyrister before the fuse.
Why do we need the R6 resistor? can it be removed?
Nice circuit! To those who wants to put a diode to protect againt reverse battery polarity pls note you CANNOT put it between r6 and f1 or the charging will never stop and the battery will overcharge! putting it on the transformer secondary by pin #15 is ok but has no use! You cannot prevent current from flowing back into the resistor voltage divider network (r3 & r4 & r5) or the battery will start charging again, but you only loose very little power/current (about 12 mA)
Dear Admin/Seetharaman,
Thank you very much for the informations i got.
More power to you.
Hi Anil You can communicate me your exact requirement whether a relay should switch of thyristor to be turned off etc to me seethasub@hotmail.com i will send you a detailed circuit it will be mostly based on “High & Low voltage cut-off with delay& alarm” appeared on Circuits today. very useful circuit idea for so many applications.
Respected All,
I am doing the automatic 120V Battery charger circuit. For that I need 140V reader circuit. If the Battery Max voltage reaches at 140V it should turn off the charging from the AC supply.
Kindly requesting please give solution as much as possible.
Hi Nilesh Sharma If the thyrister is going to get shorted, first the fuse will blow immedeately due high current flow, if the fuse has not failed then the protective resistance R6 will be charred. So nothing will hapen to the battery.
Hi Edgardo you can use any NPN small signal transistor with Vceo 30 volts Ic max 300mA and Ptot 300mw and a hfe of aroung 150 at 50mA. SD 50 can be any 5volt 400mw zener diode, For the scr what you have got requires a gate trigger current of 30mA it will work as it is if not reduce R1 to 270 ohms
I have available SCR’s two pcs., #NTE 5545 , can I use this SCR as substitute for 2N3668? of course I will replace the transformer of higher current, same voltage output.
What substitutes for BC 148 and SD 50?
Can I have a working circuit for DC motor Speed control using my available NTE 5545 SCR’s of readily available electronic parts in electronics store? Other part numbers are not available here in my country-Philippines.
What can happen if the SCR fails? Will it create high current flow to the battery and charging would be at high voltage, resulting in the battery failure/fire?
Hi Sameh if you are going to use the transformer available with you, yes with a flat battery (which is not supposed to be used with this type of chargers)it may reach 5amp charge current and ofcourse fall down as the voltage builds up in the battery. You may increase R6 to higher value say 2.2 ohms 25watts to take care of it.
You can connect an LED in series with 3.3K 1/2 watt resistance & one no. 1N4001 diode, between R1 D1 junction to ‘0’ of the transformer.
and i want to put indication led ; to know if the battery in charging mode or not (if battery charging the LED On , if the battery complete the LED Off )?
thank you…
Hi seetharaman , do i have to get my component resist high current ??(almost 5 or 7 ampere) or what?
On inspection of the diagram as an engineer, it looks perfect. Am yet to arrange the schematic
This is subject is interesting.
I like to assemble a battery pulse charger for 12V lead acid batteries with 40…100Ah to prolong lifetime.
Is it possible to find a good circuit diagram with component list?
Thank you.
Victor
Give me 500w mosfet based pwm inverter

Hi Sameh even if it is full wave rectifier instead of 50Hz ripple it will be 100Hz ripple (a full wave rectifier is a frequency doubler)it will get switched of when ever the wave form reaches zero (100 times in a second) so you can go ahead.
ok ok this in case of half wave only …
but in case of full wave … if i’ll used bridge.. not suitable ,,right?
srry for many quest .. but i search for practical circuit for my graduated project.
Hi Sameh the rectified dc is not smoothed with capacitor, hence it will be a pure full wave rectified pulslating DC. so the SCR will gets switched off when ever the supply voltage falls to Zero during every cycle. aging it will get triggered etc. once the terminal voltage reaches the full voltage through R2 & D4 the battery will get topped up at the rate 300mA peak current ripple charging.(trickling)
and the volt through R2 and D4 always go to the battery and charge the battery without controlling
Hi seetharaman ,but the scr cant stop after trigger unless the anode of the scr is zero volt ,right?
if the scr always on after first trigger <<<<>>>?
thank you for answer
Hi Sameh you can use your battery, this circuit suits well. with 12 volt transformer your peak voltage will be 16.8 volt should be just sufficient. the maximum current requirement is 30% of rated capacity that is 2amps, you can go ahead.
thank you for your useful reply..
i have another question plz >>>
i have lead acid battery 12 volt and 7 ampere is this circuit suitable for this battery.
(i have transformer 12 volt — 5 ampere )
thank you…
Hi Sameh You can connect the transformer secondary to a suitable bridge rectifier and positive of bridge rectifier to SCR anode and negative to emitter line of Q1 connecting to battery negative. The battery will get the charging current when ever its terminal voltage falls below the set voltage (say 13.6volts). R6 is the current limitter. A flat battery cannot be charged with type of chargers, the minimum continuous rating of the charger should be 30% of the rated capacity of the battery.
how can i modify to 24v battery charger,what component should i change ?
can we use bridge for full wave rectifier??
is this circuit begin to charge if and only if the battery is empty == (no voltage output from battery == zero volt).
or begin to charge if the battery get lower than 12volt (if this battery get 12 volt).
thank you
Hi Tutul you can use this circuit for your emergency light application upto 12 Volt 7 Amps battery. set for 13.8 Volt as charge cut off voltage. You can use for routine charge. This charger is designed as a ripple charges without any filter circuit. So it can activate and charge slightly aged battery also. you cannot charge a dud or a flat battery.
hi…..
do i used this circuit in stand-dy battery charging and emerjency lighting ……………..
please reply ……………..
Hi RJ just to indicate few thyristor application, it can be used in inverters. In high current variable voltage DC power supplies to limit the dissipation in the series pass transistors. In high voltage regulated power supplies. as a static high current switch as they require only very low gate switching current. disadvantages are load current should not be less than the minimum holding current of the thyristor. in DC circuit for switching off the thyristor additional circuit is required. cannot be used for high frequency switching application.
what is its output?can i have a diagram with 5V output?
nice site!!
can i request for any other simple applications using SCR’s????
thanks a lot!!
@ john – thank you for your response!! ^^
any other circuit that uses thyristor? thank you in advance!! ^^

hi twits4twats the other reason for the diode blocking is if the battery is left in circuit and if the charger power goes off the resistance chain will not drain the battery.
good circuit in fact i was looking for a circuit of this type.i want the LED voltmeter for dc volts. thanks.i will be gratefull if somebody should help me.
I ll tell results after my completion project…!
Iam using 2 Nos 12Volt 7Ah batteries in series i need one charger circuit to charge this 24volt please help
Dear All
Please give me a ciruit for charging 24V (2x12V 7Ah Batteries)
Here is your circuit

To protect the charger electronics from accidental reversing of battery polarity kindly add 1N5404 diode between R6 and F1 anode to R6.
Seetharaman
Polarity reversal protection is a good idea although not essential. Place the diode between the number 15 on the transformer and before any other components.
very very good site
Kindly give me circuit diagram for battery charger of 3.2V, 4.2Ah.
is this circuit is sure????????????
