    20W multi-die single chip spotlight/headlight

    Thanks for the answer ! Oh maybee it wasn't clear, the 750mA charger is plugged to the 12 car battery and im feeding the led with the battery, not the charger, the charger is made to keep stored battery charged (auto idle on charger) it's just that if don't put the charger, the voltage drops...
