I know this much, there are two separate battery compartments with separate negative connections. The positive connections are common.
Not at all. Give it a try, It's inexpensive, but will heat up . More so as you draw more current.I'm going to build this circuit on the breadboard and see how it works out with my 13.8V Bench power supply..... Does anyone have any problems with this?
Parallel would increase the heat dissipated, and in no way would help.I forgot to add the series resistor in the input before the capacitor. Would wiring some 1/4W resistors in parallel share the heat dissipation?
Figuring for about 10 ohms total R I'm thinking I would need: ~14v * 1 amp = 14W....14W / 0.25W = 56 resistors? Am I going about this wrong?
The tricky part here is that wattage is a product of Voltage and Current.I was under the impression that dividing the wattage across a parallel branch would spread out the heat evenly. I'll hook it up tomorrow and go from there.
