I have a couple of 12v SLA (batteries) lying around and thought I could try to use these as a nice clean power supply for my new Squeezebox3 which has a 5v feed.
I've already got a lead made up with a diode in-line to prevent from wrong polarity connections from an earlier project, it's in a small case with an on/off rocker switch.
Have seen the small electronic gizmos which look as if they just wire up the 12v on one pair of connectors with the 5v coming from the other pair. Is that all I need to get and do I need to worry about heat etc?
Any help/advice appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
