For the hell of it I think I want to put a charging circuit on my CMoy so I don't have to dig the plainview out every time it needs charging.

I vaguely recall how it works, something about placing fairly large resistors on the battery, but... someone please refresh my memory.

I want one too!

Someone on here posted one a few years ago I think, based on the MC333xx chip from Maxim. I built one, and it worked great. Lemme dig around and see if I can find the post on here......

Here is the thread..........

This works very well, as you don't run any danger of over-charging the battery. When it's done in fast mode, it kicks over to trickle mode, no worries! The circuit doesn't take up much space either, I built it on a piece of 1x1 perfboard.

Thank you very much!

beamrider you wouldn't happen to still have that pdf file, would you? If so, I would be interested in seeing it, could you up it somewhere or e-mail it to me, your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I've since changed ISP's, so I don't have the file anymore, but I think I printed it out, I'll see if I can find it and scan it.

EDIT: I can't find that PDF anywhere, but here is the schematic from the previous thread. If you've got crappy eyes like me, you may want to blow it up.....
