How to Make a Car Battery Charger With At/ATX Power Supply

It's very easy to make a very poerfull charger for car battery, uoy need a At or ATX Power supply with a especific power controller circuit: The TL494 or equivalent (DBL494, IL494, GL494, SL494, KIA494 OR KA7500).

With the old font, you need some componentes:
- LED;
- 15K Resistor;
- 680R resistor (for led);
- 10K potenciometer or trim-pot;

And conector an clips for the power charger.

To make de caherger you need to wel de trim pot (or potenciometer) in the pin 1 of the 494 (or equivalent) and the 15K resistor in line witch the genative.

Only this.

Then adjust to 13,8 volts and your charger is OK.

If don't can 13,8 Volts, you can try change the 15K resistor for an of 10K.

Is the best way to be a ecologic person, reuse an old font....
