Simple solar charger circuits are small devices which allow you to charge a battery quickly and cheaply, through solar panels. A simple solar charger circuit must have 3 basic features built-in: It should be low cost. Layman friendly, and easy to build. Must be efficient enough to satisfy the fundamental battery charging needs.
In the circuit above, the current from the solar cell flows through D1 to charge the Li-ion battery. When there is less sunlight, the higher voltage from the battery cannot flow back to the solar cell. Because there is a D1 blocking it, the current can flow only one way. The energy in the battery is stored and gradually increases until it is full.
The above 48V solar battery charger circuit with high, low cut-off may be modified with these specifications by introducing a window comparator stage, as shown at the extreme left of the circuit below. Here the opamps are replaced by three op amps from the IC LM324. The window comparator is made by two of the 4 opamps inside the LM324.
Connect a discharged battery, switch ON power and check the response, presumably the SCR will not fire until the set threshold is reached, and cut off as soon as the battery reaches the set full charge threshold. The second simple design explains a straightforward yet precise automatic Li-Ion battery charger circuit using the ubiquitous IC 555.
An electrical current from the solar cell charges the battery, and some current also goes to the control, turning the LEDs off. This is the simplest Solar Li-ion battery circuit, consisting of only three components: Nowadays, we prefer to use Li-ion batteries over other types of batteries because they have higher efficiency.
For example, if the open circuit voltage of your solar panel is 20V and the battery to be charged is rated at 12V, and if you connect the two directly would cause the panel voltage to drop to the battery voltage, which would make things too inefficient.
