I know little about electronic circuits so I joined this forum with the thinking someone could help me.
I have a laser that uses a battery pack with four C cell batteries in series. I wanted to be able to use the existing battery pack, install a jack for an external power supply to plug into the battery pack to supply power to the laser without charging the batteries.
I have a 6v transformer that puts out 6v 200ma or 7.5v 100ma.
If I install a in5817 or in4001 diode inline from the positive side of the battery pack, will transformer supply power to the laser without charging the battery?
