The project illustrates how it managed to power AVR microcontroller from a single AA battery with simple circuitry which is also driven by the AVR microcontroller.
The Arduino based capacity tester of true battery power is capable of measuring almost any type of rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries by fully discharging the battery with known current and log data to PC.
The project illustrates a universal charger for Li-Ion battery using a Smart Battery interface based on Atmel ATmega8 microcontroller with GCC software.
