- The purpose of this model is to prevent the draining of car batteries when not used for several weeks. This model comprises of a voltage monitoring sensor, cut off sensor and solar powered car battery charger. The function of the Voltage sensor is to Constantly Measure and monitor the Battery Voltage. The measured value is then sent to cut off sensor as an input. Based on the battery voltage level input from the voltage monitoring sensor, the cut off sensor takes the necessary action. When the voltage of the battery is above the threshold value, the cut off sensor does not take any action. If the voltage of the battery is low, then the cut off sensor cuts off the power supply from the battery and triggers the solar powered car battery charger to charge the battery. Once the battery is completely charged the charging process is stopped to prevent the damage of the battery. This cycle is repeated to maintain the battery voltage and prevent it from draining completely.
