Re: Converting Spotlight Power Supply
Attached pix of one of those devices (I have several different ones from different manufacturers with different capabilities) along with a view showing the two power inlets (AC & DC). The button on the far right enables "high power mode" (apparently, not to be used on aircraft) for rapid charging of laptop's battery. (The labels are just my way of keeping track of which "bits" belong to which "devices".)
Another pix shows one of the "spotlights" I've modified for use in and around the car (note short coiled cord). It's biggest claim to fame is not size but, rather, that it has a built-in PWM "dimmer" (control visible on the top side of the lamp) so I can use it under the hood of the car without blinding myself!
Last pic shows one of the portable power packs along with the "charger" that came with it, originally. Note that the charger SOURCES power through a "lighter plug" -- much the same way that the battery pack sources its stored power through that lighter socket! And, a "bare battery" to give you an idea of what lies inside.
