Need some help please with a few components on this small board so that I can troubleshoot the circuit.
The PCB is a Single sided board fairly simple circuitry has a +ve and -ve Solar cell power input, a 7.4v 1500mAh (dual 18630 cell) power in which the Solar panel charges the cells, and lastly the Output goes to a DC connector...
J1 is actually 1P1T Switch (in ON position completes Battery cell circuit
J2 - to DC Output
J3 is Battery cell connector
however I am struggling to identify if:
Y1 (SOT-23) are NPN Transistors, MOSFET's or 11v Zener's. I am fairly sure they are NPN Transistors though because I get a 0.6v diode reading on Collector and Emitter with +ve on Base.
Same for Y2 (SOT-23) being PNP with -ve on Base and 0.6v on Collector and Emitter.
The 8 pin IC is a little odd though but with no markings is making it a lot harder.
If I am incorrect with any of the above please can you advise further
Many thanks
