Find yourself just about any data book that has information on the LM317 adjustable voltage regulator. In there you should find a diagram and equations for a constant current regulator circuit. (attempted ascii art below) You can do this with two parts, the LM317 and a single resistor. Should total less than $2.00 I think the equation for finding the resistor value is 1.2V/A = R where A is your desired charging current (220mA = 0.22A, so R = 5.45ohms) in ------------- out R raw dc in + ----------| | -----\/\/\/----> (+) to batt filtered | LM317 | | |-------------| | adj | | ----------------------| (-) ------------------------------------------> (-) to batt Dave
