Hey everyone, I'm new to this board but seems like a good place to start.
I am working on a little project here.
I have a small tft lcd screen which is 12 V DC and i can't find the amperage but i am assuming around 300-500 mA.
i also have a camera which is 12 V DC and no more 300 mA
They are suppose to be for backup camera on a car.
I however want to wire this up in a boat and try to use it as an underwater camera.
I plan to attach them both to the same 12 V car battery which i will have in the boat.
What i need to know is how do i reduce the amperage? can i plug this directly on the battery or do i need to reduce the amperage first?
Will the appliances only draw what will be needed or will they get fried cause too much amperage is getting passed in?
What would be recommended?
Thanks
