A simple charger designed for charging 12 V sealed lead acid batteries, used by radio amateurs for portable operation Amp-Hr Class used by radio amateurs for portable/emergency operation.

This project outlines a simple Lead Acid/SLA battery monitor, designed to alert users when battery voltage falls below 10.6V. The monitor, based on a PIC16F1827 microcontroller, checks the voltage of up to five batteries and triggers an alarm if any drop too low. The system operates in various modes, including self-test, monitoring, and alarm. This updated version improves upon the original 1999 design, offering a more modern microcontroller and extended functionality for workshop use, with minimal impact on battery charge.
