Abstract: The battery era has started to compensate the demand of the energy while the charging issues still exist. Thus, demand of reliable and optimized charging is required to charge cell/battery. In this paper novel optimized technique is proposed, based on gravitational search algorithm (GSA) to charge e-rickshaw battery using single sensor based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of solar photovoltaic (SPV) module. There are various metaheauristic and heuristic techniques are available like Cauchy and Gaussian sine cosine optimization (CGSCO) intelligent technique, evolutionary algorithms, stochastic algorithms, Swarm optimization technique, ant colony technique, neural algorithms, fuzzy logic algorithms to optimize the charging current of cell/battery. These techniques take more iteration to give the optimal solution. Moreover, GSA is the high level intelligent technique which is used in multi area to optimize the various parameters in engineering fields. It is very ease to find the optimal solution in search space. This approach is novel in the field of e-rickshaw battery charging. Therefore, the mathematical algorithm based on GSA has been developed to optimize the current of charging cell/battery. The performance of GSA optimization technique is verified and compared with the metaheauristic based CGSCO optimization technique. It is observed that GSA is easy to design and reduce the cost of charger.
