ABSTRACT:
A battery charging circuit which automatically cuts off whenever a battery becomes fully charged. The circuit includes a source of pulsating d.c. charging current and an SCR connected in series with a battery to be recharged. A resistor and capacitor are connected in series in the order named between the anode electrode and the cathode electrode of the SCR which has its gate electrode connected, via a diode, to the circuit point between the cathode and the resistor. A further resistor is connected across the capacitor. When the battery becomes substantially charged, the voltage which appears across the first-mentioned resistor is insufficient to fire the SCR and charging current is no longer delivered to the battery.
