I am making a generator that is a very small geared DC motor. I need to put it inline to charge 4 Lithium or NiCad 1.5V batteries. I need some guidance on what would be the proper linear voltage regulator to use. The problem I see is that at times the generator may only put out 2-3 V based on its speed with a maximum output of maybe 20V. I need a VR that will handle both of these variables with it keeping the max output at 6VDC. Will I need any other components inline besides the VR?
Thank you
