- This is the circuit diagram of a 3 LED bar graph type battery monitor circuit that is ideal for monitoring the voltage level of an automobile battery.
- When battery voltage is 11.5V or less transistor Q1 will be On and the LED D1 will be glowing.
- When battery voltage is between 11.5 and 13.5V, the transistor Q2 will be On and the LED D2 will be glowing.
- When battery voltage is above 13.5V the transistor Q3 will be On and the LED D7 will be glowing.
NOTES:
- Assemble the circuit on a general purpose PCB.
- The battery to be monitored can be connected between the terminals namely A and B.
- It is always better to use LEDs of different colour.
