Hi all,
I am a beginner with electronics but I thought I would give this simple project a go.
A few years ago I made a simple LED circuit for my tool bench in the garage. I used 2 small LED light strips (50x8mm strips) connected to a 4x AA battery box. They work great but use the batteries quicker than I would like.
I have 2 powerbanks which I thought I could use so I changed the wiring from the battery box to an old male USB plug.
When I plug them into the powerbank, the LEDs just flicker. I think they are drawing too much from the powerbanks and the banks just shut off thinking there is a short.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I could regulate the volatage/current?
