Hi,
I have a new LED lantern. In the manual it states the following:
This is just a cable that plugs into a car cigarette lighter and does not appear to have any voltage level control built in.
The battery consists of 3 x AA batteries bound together making 3.5v.
My question is, if the battery is only 3.5v and the charge is 12v, why is it so high, and why do the batteries not blow up? The charge time is 3 hours.
Thanks
