I need help with this. I've learned a little about the LM317 and other voltage regulators, but they only supply about 1 - 1.5A MAX.
I want to be able to supply more current to the battery that I'm charging.
So it seems there's no videos showing how to use MOSFET as the bypass or pass transistor. Instead, they use PNP transisotrs.
I want to use an n-Channel mosfet.
Can you take a look at this, and try to help me make the circuit work please?
This circuit is what I came up with. with very little to no help.
If the MOSFET is turned on when 6.5V or whatever saturates the gate, then the voltage and current will take the path of least resistance, and go threw the MOSFET and not the LM317 5v regulator.
If that's true, then does the voltage coming in get regulated still, or is it the voltage coming in.. that reaches the load?
