present, giving us an accurate representation of one cell contained in the
pack.
33. Install R21, 47K ohm [yellow-violet-orange].
34. Install DIP switch S1 (D)ual (I)nline (P)ackage. Make sure that the
switchable contacts face toward the outside of the circuit board, allowing
for easy changing of number of cells to charge.
35. Install 47K ohm resistors R19, R18, R17, R15, R13, R8, R6, and R4
[yellow-violet-orange]. Pay extra attention in soldering not to create any
solder “bridges” between circuit traces.
36. Install R24, 47K ohm [yellow-violet-orange].
37. Install R27 and R26, both .5 ohm ½ watt [green-black-silver].
38. Install R2, 10 ohm [brown-black-black].
39. Install R23, also 47K ohm [yellow-violet-orange].
40. Install R25, 1K ohm [brown-black-red].
41. Install R11, 10K ohm [brown-black-orange].
42. Install R20, 10K ohm [brown-black-orange].
43. Lastly, install the provided hookup wire (red to the +V, black to the -
V) into the circuit board. Due to numerous types of battery packs used,
this “two wire “ type of hookup is as far as we go. Many types of battery
holders can be found quite reasonably priced at your local electronics
store. Please understand that it was nearly impossible for us to predict
the type of pack that was to be charged with this kit.
44. Since the S2 switch that was previously installed comes from the
factory as a “toggle” switch but our application uses a “pushbutton” input,
we’ll need to make a small modification to the mechanics of the switch to
suit our purpose.
Locate the switch “guide pin” on switch S2. With a small pliers, gently lift
the pin and rotate it so it does not remain in the toggle “groove”. See the
accompanying diagrams for help.
