    This document describes different circuits to build a voltage level indicator for batteries. The first circuit uses LEDs in series that glow at different voltage levels (red at 2V, red at 4V, yellow at 7V, green at 12V) to indicate the battery's state of charge. A second circuit adds a potentiometer to make the voltage measurements adjustable. A third circuit uses zener diodes with breakdown voltages of 3.3V, 5.6V, 9.1V and 12V instead of LEDs to indicate the voltage levels. The document provides details on components and principles of operation for each circuit.

    Voltage Level Indicator Circuit


    March 13, 2019 admin Electronics Projects 0

    In this project, we are going to show you how to design a simple Battery voltage Level Indicator Circuit using
    very simple available components.

    Battery voltage level indicator indicates the status of current of the battery just by glowing LED’s in
    series(Red,Yellow,Green). Res LED’s Indicates 2 volts, 2nd red LED indicates that current is now 4 volts, Yellow
    LED indicates current is now 7 volts and Green LED indicates that current is now 12 volts in the battery. In this
    circuit we have 1k resistors to control the current in the LED’s you can use 560 ohm resistor with last two LEDs
    because last two LEDs has on top level of all LEDs that is why you can use less resistor. This project explains
    you how design battery level indicator with few components. You can use this circuit to check car battery or
    invert-er. This circuit helps you to increase the life time of the battery.

    Circuit 2 with adjustable volts measurement


    you can change this circuit easily by increasing and decreasing the LED’s and resistors. If you want to change
    this circuit as adjustable then please use variable with it as shown in the diagram.

    In this circuit i have used just a 5 k potentiometer to adjust the measurement of volts. In this way this circuit
    become more flexible now you can measure even till 40 volts.

    Battery Voltage Level Indicator Circuit Principle


    The current level indicator circuit work with the help of roisters as well as LED’s. Resistors controls current in
    series with the help of LED’s As current pass through the 1st LED’s current value slow down and that is way 2nd
    LED glows on more volts as compare to 1st LED and in this way 3rd LED required more volts to glow as compare
    to 2nd led. In this way next LED required more volts to glow as compare to previous. we are using 1 k resistors
    only for protecting LED’s because LED can bear only 1.5 to 3V.

    How to Build a Voltage Level Indicator with a Zener Diode

    In this circuit, we are going to show you how to build a voltage level indicator with zen-er diodes. In this project
    we have used 4 zen-er diodes of different powers to make a perfect voltage level indicator.

    A normal diode acts as a short circuit in forward bias condition while in reverse bias condition, it acts as a open
    circuit. A Zener Diode has a breakdown when a certain voltage level is reached. The voltage that pass through
    the zener diode is called the breakdown voltage of the zener diode. If a zener has a breakdown voltage of 5.1 V,
    after 5.1 V or greater is applied to it, it will cross the voltages which power on a load.In this circuit, the type of
    zener diode we have used are:

    1. 1N4728: 3.3V
    2. 1N4734: 5.6V
    3. 1N4739: 9.1V
    4. 1N4742: 12V

    According to zener Diode 1st LED will glow on 3.3v 2nd LED will glow on 5.6v 3rd Led will glow on 9.1v and last
    Led will glow on 12.1 volts. In this way you can increase the no of zener and no of LEDs to make it more suitable.

    These are different zener diodes you can use as you want . They all have different breakdown voltages, so they
    can set a different voltage for the voltage level indicator circuit.
