Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.
I'm trying to build a battery indicator circuit for 2 AA batteries (3V). So far what I've read online is that I'd need to use a Zener diode to get a fixed voltage drop, then connect it to a transistor, like the diagram here:
http://www.4qdtec.com/batty.html"
Only problem is, the smallest Zener diode is 2.4V, so the difference between the base and the emitter would be very small - 0.6 V - even when the battery is fully charged.
Will this work?
