We returned two weeks later, made sure to unplug it all before we started the car and it worked perfectly. The car started first time and our battery seemed to be fully charged. This was in late summer though and there had been decent weather in the time we were away. As a bonus, the SC4 offers USB output, so you can connect devices like a phone or laptop after your batteries are done. You can also buy it in a bundle with a battery case and a car adapter. When you plug the unit into a wall outlet, a green light indicates the USB port is ready to use. You can then plug in a USB cable to charge a smartphone or other device. This port is a convenient extra feature that lets the charger double as a USB wall plug, but note it will not charge batteries while the USB port is in use. You also can't unplug it from the wall and use your batteries as a portable power bank to charge other devices on the go. Can you suggest a circuit with a one AA/AAA rechargeable battery,mini solar panel to fit on the box cover of 9x5cm and a DC-DC booster and 20mA leds. If you want me to come over to your place for discussions i can.
It’s very simple, you connect the solar panel to your (E) OBD connector within your vehicle, let your solar panel sit on the dashboard or underneath a large glass window to collect sunlight. If the blue LED is flashing, it is working and charging your battery from the inside of your car. Just like I said, it’s really simple!
Dividing 960 by 8 gives = 120 watts, meaning the required solar panel will need to be at least 120 watt rated.
Recall the earlier low battery indicator circuit using transistors, where the low battery level was indicated using just two transistors and a few other passive components. Referring to the circuit digaram given below, a cool little MPPT charger can be arranged using the shown cheap components. If you’re wanting to use a solar battery charger the first thing to remember is to turn your engine off before plugging the solar car battery charger in.

The circuit diagram shown below probably satisfies all the above specifications and yet stays within the affordable limit. Circuit Diagram Here we employ an identical design for the sensing of the battery levels and for enforcing the required switching of the battery across the solar panel and the connected load. The design also includes practical advantages, like vents built into each bay to keep temperatures lower while charging is in process. Overheating shouldn't be a big problem, as the charge current is low compared to other home chargers. You'll typically leave it running overnight to get multiple standard AAs to the total capacity.
Though it might look quite simple, charging a battery from a solar panel is never easy, because of two reasons: This bulb will illuminate while charging and will slowly shut off as the battery gets fully charged.This is meant for use by tribal/rural children to light up a book; there are better led lights in the market for around Rs.500 [d.light],for Rs.200 [Thrive]. Car batteries are under constant demand, even when the car is switched off. The battery has to start your car, demist the windows, keep the alarm system running and generally power many functions drivers take for granted. It’s little wonder that they can lose charge over time and need a top-up. In an ideal world, you’d probably just use a mains battery charger but not everyone can park in easy reach of a plug. That’s where solar car battery charges come in. The circuit diagram shows a simple set up using the IC LM 338 which has been configured in its standard regulated power supply mode. Using a Current Control Feature
IC1 LM338 is configured as a simple regulated voltage power supply for regulating the solar panel voltage to a precise 14V, this is done by adjusting the preset P3 appropriately.

After dusk, when the solar voltage becomes sufficiently low, the relay is no longer able to hold its N/O position and flips to the N/C changeover, connecting the battery with the LED module, and illuminating the array through the available fully charged battery power. We'll also need a solar charge controller for charging the battery, and since the battery would be charged for the period of around 8 hours, the charging rate will need to be around 8% of the rated AH, that amounts to 80 x 8% = 6.4 amps, therefore the charge controller will need to be specified to handle at least 7 amp comfortably for the required safe charging of the battery.
