Hi,
I want to charge some rechargeable batteries with a solar cell. Can I just buy the solar cell and attach the rechargeable battery pack to it or do I need to also put something between the cell and the battery pack ?
I have read a little about blocking diods but Im not sure if I would need one. Can someone explain when they are required. It might not be necessary in my case as I am just wanting to charge a 6V battery.
My project is relatively small, eventually I want to power a string of LED garden lights with this 6V battery which turns its self on at night.
