Let me not describe the use , importance and bla bla of the rechargeable batteries.

What we are going to talk about here is how to make simple battery charger circuit to recharge your rechargeable batteries.

Making a battery charger circuit is very simple , Simply step down the mains voltage using a step down transformer and convert the current into DC and stabilize it using a bridge rectifier circuit.

But you might not want to use a transformer in your circuit to maker your battery charger circuit small and handy.

If you don’t want to use a a transformer to step down the mains voltage then you can also use a resistor and a capacitor to step down the voltage and stabilize it.

And you can see the circuit diagram of a battery charger below which is not using any transformer.
