Hi guys,
I planing to install some alarm in my car, which is operated by a four AA rechargeable batteries (1.2v 2500 ma). I am planing recharge it with my car battery(12v). I want to know few things before doing this, my query is given below.Please help me.
1) To recharge the battery at 500 ma it will take some 5 hours to fully charge, as per the calculation.So whether it harm my car battery ?
2) I am going to use a transistor, to switch the 12v source to my LM2940(low dropout) input because my entire circuit works in 4.8v. Is their any problem if i use transistor to switch? Relay i cannot use because of space problem.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
regards,
thomas
