1219

This project uses a Micrel (Microchip) MIC79050 IC for charging 3.7V Li-Ion cells. It also monitors the battery's voltage, current and energy.

This design is based on the Micrel (=Microchip) MIC79050 Lithium Ion battery charger IC. An INA219 monitors the battery voltage and charge/discharge current flowing through shunt resistor R6. T1 switches the charger on and off. D1 and R2 are used for formatting deeply discharged batteries, T2 and R9 are used for discharging. Relay Re1 disconnects the battery in case of power failure.

Features:
Battery formatting: when the battery voltage is lower than 2.7V, it will be charged with a maximum current of 20mA until 2.71V is reached. Then normal charging will start.
Charging: The MIC79050 will limit the charging current to approx. 500mA. When the current drops below 80mA, the battery is considered charged and the charging process is stopped. The total energy is measured and displayed on the LCD (in mAh).
Time-out function: After 30 hours of charging or formatting the process is terminated.
Discharging: The battery is discharged with a 10 Ohm resistor until its voltage drops to 3.0V. The total energy (in mAh) is measured and displayed on the LCD.

The LCD will display the following information:
Total (dis-)charging time
Current voltage and (dis)charging current
Total energy in mAh
Remaining charging time until time-out (hours)

A bi-colour LED gives the following indications:
Orange (both red and green on): battery formatting
Red: charging current > 200mA
Green: charging current between 80mA and 200mA
Blinking red: discharging
Off: no (dis)charging
