Wishing won't make it so.
As previously stated, 0.9V/cell ==> 4.5V is more than fully discharged. As I stated before, I
I think you should check that assumption against the specs. Never assume when you can use real info. At this level of discharge you should probably pay some attention to equalizing the cells. Small overcharge can do that.
Not unless you change your charge time requirements AGAIN!!! Quit using the phrase, "as long as possible." There is no MATH do deal with that requirement. Everything must have a NUMBER. And pick the number according to REAL requirements AFTER you've thought about it. Arbitrary numbers are no better than no numbers.
Yeah, and I want Taylor Swift to show up at my door and call me "daddy", or in my case, "granddaddy". But we're both likely to be disappointed. Wishing DON'T make it so.
regardless. There is no "regardless" in electronic design. REGARD is the essence of design. Since this is for a research project, the
That's a nonsense sentence..."It doesn't have to be perfect as long as it works perfectly". A charger is unimportant until you find that the project fails because of the charger.
A 317 can be made to limit current. There are "headroom" requirements that you probably meet. A 317 is serious overkill for this application. With 9V input and 4.3ma charge, you can get by just fine with a resistor. even if it takes 24 hours? Or is there
Yes, you should be aware of the "division" button on your calculator. That is the only
The short answer to the question you asked is, "the path you're suggesting will not take you where you said you wanted to go." It's not because of the 317. It's because of the simple math you didn't do.
This is gonna be my last post...hopefully...on the subject. If you won't listen, I can't help. I apologize, but you've completely depleted my supply of tact.

If you don't know what you're building, you can't design it.
You're all over the map. First it was 3 hours...now 4-5. You want it to charge "as fast as possible" then 8-hours then 24 hours. It's very simple math. 150 mah / 4.3ma ==> 34.883721 hours plus some based on the charge efficiency. If you can't/won't do that level of analysis, there's not much I can do to help you.
I gotta go to the store now and buy more tact. I'm sending YOU the bill.
