FYI I a complete newbie at electronics...
I have 5 cells from lawn lamps and would like to link them all in a chain to make a charging device for some electronics. Can I link them in sequence or onto a running positive and negative wire or do I need some type of electronics?
After linking them I would like to have it end in a standard cigarette lighter socket or plug, again can this happen or do I need something special?
I put a voltmeter on one of the cells and, I think, it was registering at between less -then-one volt up to 4 volts depending on how much light it had . Is this possible?
How would I keep the voltage from going to high and damaging the attached device?
The cells seem to be very thin and laminated or glued on to a think piece of glass. What type are they?
Thanks so much all!
