thanx bro its charge mobile battery withott any problem
dear bro how convert 3.7 v to 5v, 500 ma dc current. Do u have any circuit diagram for this problem
and bro what is mean of 5v 500ma dc. I search i in google but can not understand.
Arup says
5v 500mA DC means a power supply providing 5V DC rated for maximum 500mA current draw.

Arup says
You need to have a step-up DC voltage converter or boost driver for that.
You can do it easily by using LM2577 IC. Google for it.

Very Nice ... 🙂

hi mate, im a portuguese lover of electronic circuits and i found this blog! first i have to say u r doing a awesome work , u could say im a fan of urs 😉 .
im trying to build a coil gun and a pulse laser as they use some similar components.
can u please give m all the info i need to build them? this its only 4 home experiences
if u need u can send or ask anything
best regards
Arup says
Sorry, I am not interested in working with or making any kind of weapons at this time. Maybe someday........
gui says
no worryes mate, keep the good work

Hello mate,
I tried to build yr usb li-ion charger but having some problems. It couldnt charger my battery, & having weird behaviour. Counld get s8550d so i replaced with bd136. The LED doesn't flashs. Nothing happen. Was it my Lm358 failed???
Arup says
Decrease R6 and R7 to something lesser than 1K (say, 680/820E) and test if that helps.

Would you mind sending me the correct version of the charging circuit? much appreciated. please tell me how to design these resistors values ? because I want to use it for Li-ion Battrery (3.7V)…hope you can teach me this knowage ….thx a lot
streetboy says
when I plug in the usb .why full LED always light?
Arup says
I think battery not connected, so full LED always lights.
streetboy says
By the way . my Led so dark . not like as you . why ?
Arup says
Check if they are having much forward voltage. In few manufacturer's LEDs the voltages are higher than standard. Try other brand ones.

Hi, Thank you Arup. i put the pcb together and it charges fine but the power led turns off while charging. is this ok?
SamBamboo says
What resistor do I have to change to lower the charge rate to around 300ma? I can't seem to find my answer in the datasheet.
Thank you

I have a dvd power regulator with 5v output, can I use it for charge 3.7v mobile battery?
ShahKey says
Hello I built the circuit exactly how you stated but i used a TIP2955 instead.
my output power was very low but when i removed LED 1 the voltage a lot more to what i would like. However i am only getting a 80mA out but i would like something a lot higher.
Is there anything you could suggest that could help me fix these problems please?
Thank you in advance
