Cordless phone backup
Normally the base of a cordless phone has an adaptor and the handset has
Ni-Cd cells for its operation. The base unit becomes inoperative in case of
power failure. In such conditions, it is better to provide a backup using Ni-Cd
cells externally. Here is a simple circuit which can be used with cordless phone
SANYO CLT-420 or similar sets.
The working is simple. When AC mains is present, Ni-Cd cells are charged through
IC LM317L, which is wired as a current source. Also, diode D3 is reverse-biased,
which keeps Ni-Cd cells isolated from positive rail. When AC mains goes off, the
Ni-Cd cells provide supply to the cordless phone base unit through diode D3. A
green LED is used to indicate the presence of AC mains.
Each Ni-Cd cell costs around Rs 34, and the cost of the backup unit, including
the box and cells, would not exceed Rs 300. Hence the circuit is well worth the
investment
