This document describes a battery monitoring circuit using an op-amp. The circuit allows one to determine if a battery is charging or discharging without using a voltmeter. It works by configuring the op-amp in a comparator mode, with the inverting input set by a variable resistor and the non-inverting input connected to the battery. When the battery voltage is higher or lower than the reference voltage, LEDs will light up to indicate the charging status. The circuit uses inexpensive and common components like resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and can help easily monitor battery voltage.
