12V Battery Charger Auto-cut-off Homemade

Introduction

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to make a 12V battery charger Auto-cut-off at home, there are plenty of options available. One popular method is to use a simple transformer and rectifier circuit that converts AC power into DC power. To get started, you’ll need a transformer with a voltage rating between 12-15 volts, as well as some diodes and capacitors to create the rectifier circuit.

In this article I have made a 12V Battery Charger. It can charge batteries up to 60Ah. I have made this charger auto cutoff using very simple component. I hope this article will be helpful to you.

  1. Your provided different connections on circuit diagram and attached components diagram photo. Which one is correct one

    1. Buonasera, ho realizzato il circuito è purtroppo non funziona .
      Concordo con Dilshan in quanto lo schema elettrico e quello dei componenti non sono corrispondenti.
      Grazie

  2. Good morning, I built the circuit and unfortunately it doesn’t work as I found some discrepancies between the electrical system and the assembly plan. There are
    further changes…or do we need to change something? Thanks and good job.
