Good day, folks! Today, I'm using my previous PEG cell circuit to charge a 12V car battery of unknown condition that was given to me.
The efficiency is impressive. The 100V high-current 28μF discharges are effectively charging the battery alongside the 24V stepped-down inductive kickback spikes. The PEG cell functions as a reactive element, limiting the DC power supply stage to only a few milliamps without the traditional heat waste you'd get with resistors. A resistor would become red hot under these conditions, but the PEG cell remains cool and operates in an open-loop configuration with no continuity.
Additionally, the temperatures remain very acceptable, and the oscillator runs efficiently with very low current. When I bypassed this PEG setup and used the full 1.5 amps rated at 12v PSA direct connected to mains., the oscillator heated up beyond touchable levels within a few minutes, with no significant increase in capacitor dump rates-just wasted current. The PEG cell, acting as an electret, significantly contributes to the system's efficiency.
For more details, please watch my last video, which includes system details and a circuit diagram. If you're curious about the PEG cell, check out my POWER CELLS playlist. All the information you need is there.
