Hi,
I want to charge up a led light from a 12v battery and am using a dc buck converter (from ebay) that is rated at 3A max to convert the voltage down (for a li-ion). The converter will fry (especially since it wants to increase the amps in ratio to the lowered voltage).
Is the LM317 designed to be connected to car batteries and such, as long as the resistor limits the current to below its rated? Or will it fry, too?
Thanks.
