Hi,
I am new to electronics. I am attempting to power an expensive DSLR camera with an 750 W.hr eBike battery to get a 24 hour time-lapse (hence the large capacity). Its a 48V ebike lipo battery, and I'll be using a LM2956HV buck converter module to drop the voltage and power the camera (and microcontroller and stepper motors and a few other things). I have had a LM2956HV fail running some tests and it failed in a way, that it short circuited the in and out positive terminals, essentially putting 48 V on the output instead of 8 V. My question is, would it be a good idea to use a NJM7808FA linear voltage regulator in this configuration to prevent over-voltage damage to my camera?
See attached simplified (no microcontroller etc.) schematic.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
