Solar charge controller for small projects...? |

The web is awash with charge controllers for use with 12v |
|
batteries and up but an apparent desert when it comes to |
|
controllers for small projects. |
|
Can someone point me in the direction of a circuit diagram, a |
|
kit or a manufactured controller for use with charging a few AA |
|
or AAA cells? |
|
My ultimate goal isn't to charge AA/AAA batteries, it's to play |
|
with the principles before scaling up and I have a couple small |
|
project ideas that I think would work well as starters. I know I |
|
could just match battery(s) to panel, add a diode so the |
|
batteries don't bleed back and be done with it but the |
|
controller seems far more useful... |
|
Actually, here's a question, can I just use one of the larger |
|
controllers for small (we're talking small 3-5 volt?) panels. |
|
I'd preferably like to build it myself though... |

Ahhh! |
|
That makes perfect sense! I can proceed in peace then! |
|
I'll grab some of the smaller lead acid batteries for the bigger |
|
garden light projects |
|
I have in mind and just pair panels with dry cells for the |
|
smaller ones. |
|
Thanks! |
