dear sir

i need 9volt 200ma Ni-MH low coast battery charger circuit diagram


note: the input dc votage range 8volt to 40volt.



thanks

i hope you reply asap.

9 volt Ni-Mh battery? The nominal voltage for a Ni-MH cell is 1.2 volts, that would mean you have a 7.5 cell battery pack?
 
I'm not sure what you have arhi but are you sure it's a NiMH? If that battery pack is 7 NiMH cells in series 9.1 volts is overcharged. 7 cells nominal voltage would be 8.4 volts 8 cells would be 9.6 volts. There are more than enough battery charging schematics you can find via Google or searching the forums here, just look.
 
chris, 7.5 cells ??? how do you implement half a cell ?

bill, I was 100% sure of that until I checked with voltmeter .... 2 nimh 9V batteries

on the sticker say: 250mAh nimh 6f22 8.4V rh-9V250

both fully charged and voltmenter show: 9.10 on one and 9.13 on another ... will try now with osc ... 9.28V avg on one and 9.27V avg on another - using x10 probe - ....

now .. the batt states 8.4, I measured 9.2V ... that's way over 7.2 :) (and I expected 7.2 when I purchased them)
 
8.4V's woohoo we have an answer! It's a 7 cell pack =) I'm not sure why you're using such a battery pack, lithium batteries are better in every respect of operations for small packs like that. Seeing a battery voltage over 8.4 volts on a freshly charged NiMh pack is perfectly normal, that 'surface charge' quickly goes away when the battery is actually loaded. Use google to search the net or the forums here, there are MANY threads for charging battery packs that include charger schematics.
 
My Energizer 9V Ni-MH battery is 1 year old. It charges to 1.44V per cell. It has 6 cells so its fully charged voltage is 8.64V. Its voltage quickly drops to 1.2V per cell which is a total of 7.2V at a load current less than 10mA. It is marked "7.2V".
Fully charged, its voltage immediately drops to 6.8V with a load current of 230mA then keeps dropping more.

Today on Energizer's site they show a new 9V Ni-MH battery marked "8.4V" and the graphs show that it charges to over 9V and its voltage is a little higher than 8V for a discharge at currents less than 35mA.

My electric model airplane uses a Ni-MH battery with 7 AAA cells. It is marked "8.4V". I charge it to 10.25V when it becomes warm.

You should use two or three cell Lithium pack audioguru, less than half the weight of the nimh setup you're using on packaging space alone.
 
All of my 9V NiMH batteries are 7 cells, they have a nominal voltage of 8.4V and measure over 10V hot off the charger.

Under $6.00, don't think you can build it yourself for less, maybe better, maybe not. Only used it once, but pretty sure it shuts off automatically.
 
I never understood why they made 9V rechargeables, the energy density is horrible, use a real pack =\ Or lithiums.

I use a "9V" (actually 7.2V) Ni-MH battery in my Sound Level Indicator project. It can supply 230mA to light all 10 LEDs for a few minutes so I can show it to visitors. It is charged from a current-limited constant voltage which delivers a very low trickle charge current. My old Ni-Cad 9V battery failed (it was about 12 years old) and this "new" one is about 1 year old.
 
The two batteries I got from the link posted earlier, still read slightly over 9 volts, and have been sitting for about a month.
