I am using sim800C its works fine with power supply but as I connect it to the battery it gets restarted.

I am using  3.5 V lithium battery and using voltage booster for getting 5V but as I made connections its gets restarts.

Please help..

I am not familiar with this LCD display. Please post a link to the datasheet.

isn't that an rf modem?  So can we assume the LCD issue is solved, if so mark the solution and start a new thread.

Yes - it is a GSM/GPRS module: http://simcomm2m.com/En/module/detail.aspx?id=74

 

 So can we assume the LCD issue is solved, if so mark the solution

For instructions, see Tip #5

 

and start a new thread.

Even if the LCD issue is not resolved, the SIM800 is a separate issue - so start a separate thread for that.

 

You can always give a link back to this one, if appropriate.

what 3.5V battery and what booster? The sim800 needs 2+ Amps peak current depending on what it is doing - can your battery and 'booster' supply this? Most likely not which would explain your problem.

This is common to any GSM module - and, in fact, any radio transmitter - it is in the nature of the beast!

 

I did some measurements on a GSM modem years ago: http://www.antronics.co.uk/downloads/M1306B_Current_Traces.pdf

(as it's a modem - not just a bare module - it has its own internal power supply, which mitigates the issue. But you can still see the highly "peaky" nature of the current draw)

 

A very common problem when using GSM modules is inadequate power supply to cope with these peaks.

 

Study the manufacturer's documentation carefully - in particular, their power supply & PCB layout recommendations.

 

See: https://www.avrfreaks.net/forum/...

If you have an oscilloscope, look at the supply voltage to the GSM module - you will probably see it "collapse" as soon as the module draws its high current ...

 

This is (almost) certainly a General Electronics issue - nothing specifically to do with AVR.
