Circuit Solar Powered Lithium Ion
Battery Charger
designed
by David A. Johnson, P.E.
May 15, 2007 |
The circuit below feeds a
controlled current and voltage to a 3.6v lithium ion battery. The current is limited
to 300ma and the voltage is limited to 4.2 volts. The circuit uses a LTC1734 IC from
Linear Technology. No diode is needed between the circuit and a 6 volt solar panel. |

very nice 6 volt solar panels are available from
http://www.plastecs.com Their SP6-200-12 cranks out about 1 watt while the
SP6-300-12 can produce about 2 watts. Assuming a 6 hour sunlit day, the 2 watt
panel will pump about 1.8 Amp-hours into a battery. |
