The circuit allows allows the charger to keep -V batteries in shape during the winter season,

when the vehicle or machine is not used. The nominal output voltage of the L regulator is
calculated from

Uout = Uref * ( (R +P )/R )

where Uref is V (typ.).

So, change R to kOhm, and R to kOhm, these values allow the charger's output
voltage to be adjusted between V and about V. The LED series resistor, R , is lowered to
kOhm. Because of the lower output voltage ( V instead of V), the dissipation in the L
may be on the high side if the original transformer is used. If you need the present -V version
only, the transformer is, therefore, best changed into a type with a -V secondary. Suitable types
are the Block VR ( V/ A), the Monacor (Monarch) VTR ( VA), or the Block
PT . The latter is a short-circuit protected type (more expensive than the others,
unfortunately). All three transformers are rated at V primary voltage, and fit on the printed
circuit board. Also do not forget to change the fuse to a -mA type. As with the -V version of
the charger, the current limiter is actuated at a level of A.
