Have you tried connecting the circuit to a battery and adjusting it as it says on the page? What is the voltage of the battery before you connect the circuit?

Hi
I have Connected it with the battery
The circuit without the battery gives 7.7V.
the voltage of the battery is 12V before it was connected to the circuit.
And After the battery is connected it is 13V

So how may i check that the circuit is charging or not?

You answered your own question. Once the battery is connected, it is at 13V. Therefore it is charging. Now follow the instructions on the page to adjust the charge voltage.

If you want to use an ammeter, then connect it series with the positive output.

There is a link in the quote you posted that links to a topic that explains the circuit, look about a quarter of the way down...

It will charge any size battery. But the circuit is limited to about 5A max of current, meaning that it will take a very LONG time to charge high capacity batteries.

Thanx for the help!

i also want to know how to set the charge voltage. It is explained on the the page where circuit is displayed but i have some confusion.

Do i have to wait until the battery is fully charged to set the charge voltage? if yes then for the first time, how would i know that now the battery is fully charged?

or i can just connect the battery, switch on the charger and measure the voltage on output terminals (which should be 13.8V for 12V battery) and then wait until LED gets ON?

and do i have to use the transformer with secondary voltage of 12V or it be slightly higher i.e 13 - 14V?

thanx!
