About this deal
Once the battery is fully charged, turn off the charger and disconnect it from the battery terminals. The constant voltage charge method applies a constant voltage to the battery and limits the initial charge current. Here, a DC voltage between 2.3V per cell (standby/float) and 2.45V per cell (fast) is applied to the terminals of the battery. Depending on the state of charge (SoC), the cell may temporarily be lower after discharge than the applied voltage. After some time, however, it should level off. The potential acquired from the junction of R3 and R4 is used for setting the output voltage of the IC LM338 to a level that’s a shade higher than the required charging voltage, to about 14 volts.

Solar panel: Invest in a solar panel with sufficient wattage to generate the required power for charging the battery. Remove everything that's presented at the right side of the battery in the diagram, I mean the relay and all..... Hopefully with the above changes, you should be able to adjust the voltage and also adjust the base transistor pot for making the LED glow only after the battery is fully charged, at around 14V. The circuit diagram of the 12V, 7Ah smart battery charger is shown in figure 1. It utilizes a step-down transformer, adjustable voltage regulator IC (LM317), op-amp comparator, zener diode, and a few other active and passive components. Yes, you can charge a 12v 7Ah battery with a car. The car must have an alternator that produces at least 14 volts to do this. Many cars have an alternator that produces between 13 and 15 volts.Connect the solar panel to the charge controller: Use the appropriate wiring and connectors to establish a secure connection between the solar panel and the charge controller.

However: if I charge the car battery with the charger, and clip on the 7Ah to the car battery - both charges.Yes, you can charge a 12V 12Ah battery with a car charger. The process is simple and straightforward. All you need is a car charger that is rated for the voltage and amperage of your battery. A large battery will take longer to charge than a small one, and a higher-current charger will obviously charge a battery faster than a lower-current one.
