Re: REDUCING AMPERAGE for delicate electronics It depends on the
electronics... Most electronics are designed to run from a
constant voltage system (like a battery or DC power supply). The
only limitation in current is a fuse to protect the wiring if a
short occurs. The problem with many electronics systems is that
they don't like voltages out side of a narrow range (5-10% at
most). Even batteries have a much larger range of operational
voltages --especially if you include the voltage required to
recharge the batteries (example--a 12 volt storage battery need
around 15 maximum volts, and your electronics should be able to
run all the way down to about 10.5 volts for when the battery is
discharged and to allow for wiring voltage drop). The amount of
energy of a lead acid battery is approximately proportional to
its weight. However, the amount of energy you can pull out of a
battery also depends on its design and intended usage. Going
outside of its designed usage will dramatically reduce its
recharging life. A
