Abstract
This final year project describes the design and implementation of a buck converter to charge 12V lead acid batteries.
Our buck converter consists of a MOSFET, diode and inductor. The MOSFET acts as a switch and is turned on and off by a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) controller. This means that by controlling the duration when the switch is on, the voltage or current at the output can be regulated. Our controller is able to sense the battery's voltage level and apply the appropriate charging algorithm accordingly. 3 LEDs are used in combination to inform the user of the charging status.
