  2. Boost converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_converter

    Low-cost converter modules: two buck and one boost. Boost converter from a TI calculator, generating 9 V from 2.4 V provided by two AA rechargeable cells.. A boost converter or step-up converter is a DC-to-DC converter that increases voltage, while decreasing current, from its input to its output ().

  3. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

    Boosting a dead battery through a battery charger can take anywhere from five to twenty minutes depending on the depth-of-discharge (DOD), health of the vehicle battery, and type of engine (engine displacement). AC power is not usually available for a roadside boost. Jump starters are portable battery devices that allow for jump starting of ...

  4. Joule thief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_thief

    Joule thief with regulated output voltage Example of a joule thief circuit driving an LED. The coil consists of a standard ferrite toroid core with two windings of 20 turns each using 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) diameter wire (38 swg) (34-35 AWG). The circuit can utilize an input voltage down to about 0.35 V and can run for weeks using a 1.5 V LR6/AA.

  5. Single-ended primary-inductor converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended_primary...

    SEPICs are useful in applications in which a battery voltage can be above and below that of the regulator's intended output. For example, a single lithium ion battery typically discharges from 4.2 volts to 3 volts; if other components require 3.3 volts, then the SEPIC would be effective.

  6. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  7. Battery charger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

    Other battery types cannot withstand over-charging, becoming damaged (reduced capacity, reduced lifetime), over heating or even exploding. The charger may have temperature or voltage sensing circuits and a microprocessor controller to safely adjust the charging current and voltage, determine the state of charge, and cut off at the end of charge ...

  8. Booster (electric power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booster_(electric_power)

    The milking booster was so-called because it "milked" the healthy cells in the battery to give an extra charge to the faulty one. The motor side of the booster was connected across the whole battery but the generator side was connected only across the faulty cell. During discharge periods the booster supplemented the output of the faulty cell. [1]

  9. Electrochemical cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_cell

    A secondary cell produces current by reversible chemical reactions (ex. lead-acid battery car battery) and is rechargeable. Lead-acid batteries are used in an automobile to start an engine and to operate the car's electrical accessories when the engine is not running. The alternator, once the car is running, recharges the battery.
