Use of solar powered battery chargers are used to charge batteries which have run out of power (rechargeable types). These are essentially useful to conserve energy or electricity and at the same time on those moments where grid power fails and you desperately need to have batteries to be used by a camera when going to a family gathering (no money and time to buy the disposable types). It is also simple and cheap to build a homemade diy solar powered battery charger.
Here are easy to follow steps on how to make your very own solar powered battery charger:
Preparation of materials
Set the following items on the desired working table:
solar cells
tape
soldering iron
window holder
blocking diode
cardboard
multimeter
battery
casing or container
Once all items are prepared proceed to step 2.
Connect the solar cells in parallel order by pairing and tying them together by its polarity (negative wires are joined and positive wires are joined separately from its opposite charge) in order to increase ampere rating. Use wires to connect them together and attach it to the window holder, have the panel boards soldered to insure that these items will not move and will maintain a steady, constant position also place the solar cells on top of the cardboard to keep arrangement. Close it all up by using a tape.
Place the red lead of the battery to the positive terminal and the blocking diode to the negative terminal.
Check the connection if all parts of the assembly is connected to one another by using a multimeter. If all items are placed where it should be the multimeter will show an ampere rating.
Once all the basic ideas given here for making the solar powered battery charger is finished and you have it in your hands. Build a container or casing made from wood or plastic so it will not easily be destroyed. Remember that solar cells are highly sensitive and are not cheap therefore keeping them safe and secure will ensure that there "life" will be increased.
Regularly check and maintain the status of the solar powered battery charger so overall efficiency will not go down. Problems detected on the early stages are much more easily repaired than those already in its complicated state.
By building and using homemade diy solar powered battery charger in the long run you have helped Mother Nature from being depleted of its natural resources and have also decreased the evolution brought about by use of nonrenewable forms of energy. Secondly you can have a lot of savings on your pocket since solar energy is given off for free, even if you spend big money at the start during the making and installation of this item, in the long run you are able to save hours of electricity and thus decreasing the cost from your monthly electric bill.
