Hello all,
I'm attempting to figure out how to charge a Ni-Mh battery with a solar panel.
Battery: 10.8v 3.8Ah
Panel: 22.25 Open circuit voltage, 1.5 watt
The panel is likely too large for trickle charging the battery. I assume my amperage should be no higher then 380ma to prevent over charging.
I'm trying to keep the circuit as simple as possible. Any suggestions on how I should be controlling the incoming power before delivering it to the battery?
Thanks much for any input
