howdy folks. just spent 6 hrs. trying to figure out what to do: i want to make a circuit to charge a AA pack,probably 8 1.5v batteries wired in series or parrallel forget which, to get 12v dc output for a bloody headlight that will give above 1000 lumens, which i havent found yet.
as i understand the voltage that you can get from the hot wire where the oil alert was installed can give from 6-7 volts, dunno what watts. if i take that wire and run it through a zener diode (size dunno) i get me a little rectifier, to give me a pulsing dc current. so from there i get it to a voltage regulator, or was that the diode? next the battery pack. from there to my light i havent found or made yet!!!!
so if i get one 6v battery pack and wire it to the next in series(whichever steps up the volts) do i get 12 volts to use?
so the questions: will that work as specified?
am i missing something?
es what i am missing a step up converter?
who knows of a light that will fit the bill?
on ebay they sell a nice all steel 12v CEV moped light.
please electricians, help desperate honda owners sick of cheap plastic battery powered chinese headlight crap!!!
aka scotchmo,etc.
