Mobile cellphone charger

While travelling charging of mobile battery is great problem because power supply source is not generally accessible. Here is a simple project using very common electronics components for charging mobile battery using AA cells.

Circuit descriptions of mobile cellphone charger

The main part of the circuit mobile cellphone charger is timer IC NE555, used to charge and monitor the voltage level. IC1 get control voltage to pin 5 by zener diode ZD1. Threshold pin 6 and trigger pin 2 is supplied with a voltage set by VR1 and VR2 respectively. The trigger pin 2 of IC1 is below 1/3VCC when discharge battery is connected to the circuit as a result flip-flop of IC1 is switched on to take output pin 3 high. The process is reversed when battery is fully charged of charged battery is connected. Here transistor T1 used to enhance the charging current from output pin 3 of IC1. Adjust potentiometer VR1 and VR2 as per require.

LED status for different charging conditions

Load across the output No battery connected Charging battery Fully charged battery Output frequency (at pin 3) 765 kHz 4.5 Hz 0 LED1 On Blink Off

PARTS LIST
Resistors (all -watt, 5% Carbon) R1 = 390 R2 = 680 R3 = 39 /1W R4 = 27 K R5 = 47 K R6 = 3.3 K R7 = 100 /1W VR1, VR2 = 20 K

Capacitors

C1 = 0.001 F (ceramic disc) C2 = 0.01 F (ceramic disc) C3 = 4.7 F/25V (Electrolytic )

Semiconductors
IC1 = NE555 timer IC T1 = SL100 or any Medium power general purpose NPN transistor like: 2N4922 , 2N4921,2N4238, FCX1053A ZD1 = 5.6 V/1W LED1

Miscellaneous
SW1 = On/off switch 1.5V*8 AA cells Mobile connector

Yes it does. Just make sure you limit the charging current by adjusting VR1 and VR2. Reply

@agasthya it is a universal mobile charger so u can connect any mobile connector..for example..if u want to build a charger for nokia then u have to install a nokia pin or if u want to connect a sony ericsson mobile u can install sony charger pins at the output Reply

to which type of mobile ,this circuit can be used for charging Reply

January 21, 2013 at 11:18 am

you can charge any type of mobile battery! And you have to change the value of zener diode according to battery voltage. Reply

plese explain me how values of zenar diodes can be varied according to battery voltages Reply

admin says:

January 21, 2013 at 11:30 am

I mean if your battery volt is less then 3.5V then you have to replace zener diode ZD1 with appropriate value i.e. 4.2Volt Reply

I am not sure about that! You cannot find a pdf report in our site ; And I also doubt that you can find it anywhere online. But with some simple online research and this article you can for sure create your own PDF report. Reply

Can we use a battery of 9V instead of 12V without changing any other values? And can we keep C1=0.1uF??? Will it work????????? Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you. Reply

Electroinics Project Admin says:

March 24, 2013 at 9:34 am

You can use 9V instead of 12 volt without any modifications. And regarding the capacitors value I would suggest to use the value suggested in the part list i.e. 0.001 uF ceramic type.

I tried to make this project but led is not blinking when battery is connected.I used 9 V battery.Battery is 3.7 lithium ion battery. I took VR1=VR2=20k and Zener diode of 5.6V.Plz help asap Reply

Electroinics Project Admin says:

The factors that determines the working of the circuit are: > Setting VR1 and VR2 by rotating it to limit output current. > Many of the cellphone batteries contains three terminals , one for common or ground , one for charging and discharging and one for sensing , So making sure the output is connected to correct terminals.
