Circuit Schematic Ni-MH Ni-Cd Adjustable Constant Current Charger using LM317

BatteryCharger. - Here is Circuit Schematic Ni-MH Ni-Cd Adjustable Constant Current Charger using LM317 that also completed with project. This circuit can be adjusted to any value from a few milliamp to about 500mA. The max current is 500mA because it is the limit of the BC140 transistor in the current-limiting part of the circuit.

The input voltage has to be 5.25v above the required output voltage, because of 1.25v across the current-limiting section and Approximately 4v is dropped across the regulator.  The LM317 3-terminal regulator will need to be heatsinked.
