Abstract
distributed renewable at lower cost and higher 5V output, through a diode it was further
efficiency. Efficient super capacitor storage reduced to 4.5V. Diode also serves to block
and charging schemes were proposed [2]. the reverse flow of power.
Present chargers used are wall chargers with
AC-DC converters which are lossy and utilize
only 40% of useful energy and more than 55%
is wasted by unnecessary plugging.[3]. Hence
emphasis should be on increasing the
functionality of user, increase the battery life
and efficiency, increase the quality of
interfacing system and decrease the size and
weight.[4].
A charge protection between cell
phone and battery is to limit the rate at Fig 1: Multisim simulation circuit output.
