| Whenever I'm in the car listening to my favourite CD, it always happens; my batteries go dead. To solve that problem, I built this extremely simple regulator circuit. It steps down the 12V from the lighter socket to 9V which is used by the CD player. Different CD players (I have a Sony Discman) may require different voltages, so just use the correct regulator. All the 78xx series regulators have the same pin out, so the circuit is universal. |

| Hey! Cool project but just for easyness, couldnt you swap c4 for a non-polarized capacitor? Also, if you swap the 7809 for a 7805 regulator at 1.5Amps, you can use it (i think) to charge up nearly any USB device if you substitute the output port for a usb prot and wire the + to pin1 and the Ground to pin4. Anyway Ace site, thanks for the help with the motor controller! | ||
