Simple circuit indicates health of lithium-ion batteries -  14-May-09 Issue of EDN  A simple inexpensive circuit quickly indicates a battery pack's health.... [Design Idea by Fritz Weld, Friedberg, Germany]
Simple circuit safely deep-discharges NiCd battery. -  04/29/99 Issue of EDN  Nickel-cadmium (NiCd] batteries can possess an undesirable memory effect due to partial discharges. The remedy is a complete discharge before charging again. Figure 1a shows a simple circuit that performs this feat....Page includes several designs.  Scroll to find this one.... [Design Ideas by Jim Hagerman, Science & Technology International, Honolulu, HI]  
Smart Battery Charger -  This unit was constructed in the shell of a Radio Shack battery charger. The original unit charged only one type of battery at a time and only in pairs.  This unit allows for mix and match for AAA, AA, C, and D cells. Each battery is individually monitored and charged. An LED for each one flashes to show the current charging condition as follows.. [Copyright 2006 Luhan Monat]
Solar AA cell charger -  This almost trivial circuit may be used to charge a pair of AA or AAA sized rechargeable battery cells from sunlight. The circuit has been used to keep a Palm Pilot and walkman radio running perpetually.  This is an unregulated charger, proper charging is achieved by placing the unit in the sun for a known amount of time, this time varies according to the battery type.... [G. Forrest Cook]
Solar Battery Charging -  This instructable will show you how to make your own solar battery charger from very simple components. It is taken from my documentation provided with a kit I supply, you should easily be able to source the same components yourself of course. ….(Circuit design added 11/08)
Solar Cell Battery Charger -  A Simple Regulator for Charging Lead Acid Batteries from a Solar Cell.….(electronic circuit added 10/06)
Solar Cell Battery Charger/Monitor -  ….must register on this site... [Published in Elecktor July/August 2010]
Solar Cell Phone Charger -  This little gadget uses a small 3 volt solar cell to charge a 6 volt NiCad battery pack which, in turn, may be used to charge many models of cell phones and other portable devices. The circuit "scavenges" energy from the solar cell by keeping it loaded near 1.5 volts....(circuit added 05/05/05)
Step-up supply charges battery while serving load -  06/08/95 EDN-Design Ideas  The circuit in Fig 1 supports portable applications in which a microprocessor controls battery charging. Step-up switching regulator IC1 boosts VIN (5V]to supply a combination of charging and load current. (Note that the 5V source must have short-circuit protection.]IC2 is a high-side current-sense amplifier that monitors charging current....[Design Idea added 11/05].
