Hello,
I have an exercise bike which has a 6V battery @1.2Ah. For some reason, I want to remove the battery system, and use the bike powered by the mains. I intend to use a 6V/2A wall adapter. I suppose that when a person is pedalling, the battery charges because the bike also has an alternator.
Let's say that I remove the battery and plug the adapter output into the battery socket? But, what about the voltage going to the battery, now going to the wall adapter when someone is pedalling?
Do I have to add a protection diode, or these wall adapters often include these protections?
