Conventional and 10 year life sealed batteries require 2.27 vpc -3mV / Deg C temp compensation for static charging for maximum life (Yuasa Clhoride Sonnenshine) not so sure about American ones (Power Gnb Johnson ect) Steve..... -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU] On Behalf Of p.cousens Sent: 17 August 2003 15:28 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [EE:] 24vdc from a 15vdc psu In this type of app. Where the charge is almost never interrupted, I recommend 13.5V, this gives you 2.25 Volts per cell Peter Cousens cousens@biscit.biz > -----Original Message----- > From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU] On > Behalf Of Jinx > Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 2:52 PM > To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU > Subject: Re: [EE:] 24vdc from a 15vdc psu > > > how the output of the 7805 circuit in the diagram is 14v1 > > As Wouter said.
