This is a kitchen scale with a maximum weight of 2.5kg and an accuracy of 10g. Exceeding the range is indicated by an acoustic signal and an LED. Weight is displayed on a four-digit LCD display. The weight also includes a weight-zero reset button. The power is solved by a battery whose discharge is below the set limit indicated by the LED.Then the battery needs to be recharged, otherwise the voltage drops below the operating level and the wrong weight information appears in the display. In order to avoid having to switch off the balance for unnecessary battery discharge, after 2 minutes of inactivity (only if there is no weight on the weight) it will turn itself off.

This is a simple charging connection for a Ni-Cd battery. This connection is not the most appropriate, but it is sufficient for occasional charging. I’ve chosen this simple connection to get the charger into the U-KPZ3 adapter box. The mains voltage is fed via a fuse to a transformer with a secondary voltage of 12V. This voltage is thrust across the M1 bridge, filtered through C1, C2 and applied to the LM317T regulated voltage stabilizer. With the R3 and R4 resistors the output voltage is set to 11.5V according to the formula U out = 1.25 (1 + R4 / R3). By R2, a constant charging current is set to 60 mA according to the formula I out = 1,25 / R2. This strain is filtered using C3, C4. The D1 LED serves only to indicate that the charger is on the network. The D2 protects the stabilizer against back-up by disabling the charger before disconnecting the rechargeable battery. It is advisable to place a small cooler on the IO1. The Ni-Cd battery is about to charge about 125% of the battery voltage, which in my case is 12V and current approximately 1/10 of the battery capacity, that is 60mA. I deliberately lowered the charging voltage to avoid potential battery damage.
