Chargery

LiPo batteries require continuous attention. In particular, in order to avoid full discharge, users should often charge them to a storage voltage, which is more or less half of the battery capacity. We tried to automatize this process using a ready-built charger and some simple electronics. 

​

Chargery is a monitoring and charging station for the 6 LiPo 3s batteries. The user can monitor the state of charge of the batteries through the user interface, or the Chargery itself every 12 hours checks automatically the state: if the voltage of a battery is below 11 V (approximately), the battery is selected to be charged. The user can also charge all the batteries sequentially from left to right.

This project had been so much fun and I improved my electronics skills, prototyping and firmware programming.
