How do I lower the amperage output best for a device that will suck my car battery dry without loosing too much energy?
There are several methods but I would like to know a way to say get around 1 ampere max out to my device the most energy efficient way. Not loosing too much to heat.
The battery is a normal car battery charged normal so between 13.5 V and 10 V operating.
What method is best?
resistor?
capacitor?
Diode?
anything else?
I have a 1a schottky diode 1n5859. Could I just put that in between or should I put more than that? fuse?
