Hi, does anyone have a diagram that shows how to charge a battery. I want to simulate this
Input voltage: 4.4V 500mAh
internal consume: 40mAh
Battery capacity; 1800mAh (3.7V)
What I want to simulate is the necessary time to charge the battery. If the diagram has a solar panel. It could be great.
Thanks anyway if you have something and want to share it with me.

Hi Singleroot. I have some interesting links for you:
To charge a battery using a Solar Panel you can connect them using a diode:

Other more sofisticated circuits are these:

However, If you plan to test other battery charger, please check these:
