LM317 Battery Charger

According to the battery manufacturers, a battery should be charged with only 1/10 current (in ampere), of its
Ah value.
For example, if a battery is of 7Ah value, then it should be charged with 0.7 Ampere current. Charging a battery
using this rule, extends the battery life.

Charging current is controlled by T1, R1, and R4. VR1 is used to set the charging current.
As the battery gets charged, the current flowing through the R1 increases. This result in increase in the
current and voltage from the LM317.
When the battery becomes fully charged, charger reduces the charging current to the battery, and the
battery is charged in trickle charging mode.
The input at LM317 should be around 3 volts higher than the output voltage from the LM317. As this IC
requires minimum 3-volts for its operation.
As this IC gets very hot during operation, a good heat sink should be used with
this IC.

i think it would be more clear if you explain the working of T1,R1,R4 as current limitors.
thanking you.
awaiting your explanation

When the battery is connected, current flows through R1 and Voltage is drops accross it. This voltage
now becomes the base voltage for the transistor, if this voltage exceeds about 0.7 volts, the transistor
turns on and reduces the output voltage of the regulator which also reduces the charging current. Note
that the higher the output voltage above the battery, the higher the charging current and the lower the
output voltage of the regulator above the battery voltage, the lower the charging current. Hope this
helps a little.

Can u explain it in more detail? And how can we add charging indicator for low charge and full
charge indication?

Right, this is usefull for SLA charge long time without broken. because T1-BC140 will be open close-up, its
protect over current for LM317 at full-charge, thats meaning limited current for SLA battery. add diode
(1N4007) input and out put to wrong plug-in power pole.

Thanks for posting this circuit. Its a great reference.

How can I calculate the max charging current using VR1?

Pl correct me if I am wrong . Have seen this ckt or its variation in s many places could not help saying these
words .
The above is a simple ckt . The function of R1 and T1 is simply to cut off by limiting any excess current to
the extent of 0.6/R1. Where 0.6 is the eB drop of the transistor.
The theory being , when the drop across R1 is More than 0.6v, the Tr conducts and brings the ADJ
terminal to, or near ground cutting of the current to the battery.
In the present instance the current : 0.6/056= 1.07A
So the current is limited to1.07A. If it tries to exceed , it will be brought to zero or near zero.
This is not a cut off function
