12V battery level indicator circuit with LED bar /dot display
LM3914. The heart of this circuit is the LM3914 from national semiconductors. The LM3914 can sense voltage levels and can drive a display of 10 LEDs in dot mode or bar mode. The bar mode and dot mode can be externally set and more than one ICs can be cascaded together to gat an extended display. The IC can operate from a wide supply voltage (3V to 25V DC). The brightness of the LEDs can be programmed using an external resistor. The LED outputs of LM3914 are TTL and CMOS compatible. Description. In the circuit diagram LEDs D1 toD10 displays the level of the battery in either dot or bargraph mode. Resistor R4 connected between pins 6,7 and ground controls the brightness of the LEDs. Resistors R1 and POT R2 forms a voltage divider network and the POT R2 can be used for calibration. The circuit shown here is designed in order to monitor between 10.5V to 15V DC. The calibration of the circuit can be done as follows. After setting up the circuit connect a 12V DC source to the input. Now adjust the 10K POT to get the LED10 glow (in dot mode) or LEDs up to 10 glow (in bar mode). Now decrease the voltage in steps and at 10.5 volts only LED1 will glow. Switch S1 can be used to select between dot mode and bar graph mode. When S1 is closed, pin9 of the IC gets connected to the positive supply and bar graph mode gets enabled. When switch S1 is open pin9 of the IC gets disconnected to the positive supply and the display goes to the dot mode. With little modification the circuit can be used to monitor other voltage ranges. For this just remove the resistor R3 and connect the upper level voltage to the input. Now adjust the POT R2 until LED 10 glows (in dot mode). Remove the upper voltage level and connect the lower level to the input. Now connect a high value POT (say 500K) in the place of R3 and adjust it until LED1 alone glows. Now remove the POT, measure the current resistance across it and connect a resistor of the same value in the place of R3. The level monitor is ready.

Cascading two LM3914 Few other battery level related circuits that you may like. 1.Simple battery level indicator : This circuit can be used for monitoring the level of 3V batteries. The circuit is based on MN13811G from Panasonic. MN13811G is a CMOS voltage detector IC that can be used a variety of voltage monitoring applications. In the circuit LED D1 will flash when ever the battery voltage drops below 2.4 volts. 2.3 LED battery level indicator : A 3 LED battery level indicator that can be used for monitoring the voltage level of 12V automobile battery is shown here. Three states of the battery ie; below 11.5V, between 11.5 and 13.5 and above 13.5 are shown by the glowing of LEDs. 3. Flashing battery monitor : This circuit can be used for monitoring the voltage level of 6 to 12V batteries. The circuit is based on transistors and the voltage level at which the LED starts flashing can be adjusted by using a potentiometer.
