Battery Saver Circuit Diagram

Introduction

A Battery Saver circuit diagram is a great tool for those looking to save some money on their electricity bills. By maximizing the battery life of all your electronic devices, you can significantly reduce the amount of energy you’re using. This type of circuit diagram provides step-by-step instructions for how to build an efficient circuit that will keep your batteries charged for longer, such as connecting several resistors and a regulator in order to prevent overcharging or discharging. Not only that but this type of circuit can be used in all sorts of applications, from solar-powered cars to model airplanes to smartphones and tablets – giving you maximum control over your power use. So if you’re looking for some ways to cut down on your power consumption and save a bit of extra cash each month, why not give battery saver circuit diagrams a go?

Working Explanation

of Battery Saver Circuit Diagram

The saver is intended to prevent a battery-operated instrument such as a multimeter without an automatic off switch to be left on for days on end and so completely discharging the battery.

The circuit described is inserted in the +ve supply line and breaks the +ve supply to the instrument after this has not been used for about six minutes.

Gates N1‚ and N2 form a monostable multivibrator (MMV). When the supply is switched on, capacitor C2 arranges for the input of N1‚ to be grounded, so that the output level is about equal to the supply voltage. The load is then energized.

At the same time, the 9 V level at the output of N1‚ is applied to the input of N1, whereupon the output of this gate goes low. This is the initial state: no change. However, capacitor C1‚ is gradually being discharged via R1, which, owing to the high value of this resistor, is a very slow process. Nevertheless, after about six minutes the potential across C1‚ will have dropped sufficiently to cause a low level at the input of N1. The output of this inverter changes state so that the output of N2 becomes low and this causes the supply to the load to be discontinued.

Restarting is affected by pressing the on/off switch S1. So as to make the current to be switched as large as possible, the remaining gates in IC1 (40106)‚ are linked in parallel with N1. Each gate can provide a current of about 0.5 mA so that the total output current is about 2.5 mA, which is quite sufficient for most test instruments. If a larger output current is needed, a FET (BUZ10) may be added in series with N1: this raises the current to a couple of amperes. In that case, make sure that the +ve terminal of the load is fixed and the -ve line is switched.

If the delay of 6 minutes is found too long or too short, it may be altered by changing the value of R1‚empirically.

Conclusion

The Battery Saver feature is a great tool to help extend the life of your device’s battery. With so many apps and activities running all at once on our phones, it can be hard to keep up with all the power they use and sometimes result in shortening battery life. Battery Saver automatically detects power-hungry apps running in the background, suggests turning off certain features that don’t need to be on all the time and helps put your device into a low-power state when it reaches a certain level. With these tricks, you should get more out of your device each day without having to constantly monitor its power usage.
