Re: Circuit Design Help

Computer power systems work in different ways, depending on how old it is, what type it is, etc. In the old days the switch was on the power supply, it was an on/off switch that disconnected the AC power cord wiring from the rest of the power supply. Modern PCs have a power supply designed to always provide a standby power source to the motherboard, and when this is connected to another pin on the power supply, it tells the power supply to "turn on", and provide power to all the other outputs.


I don't understand where the switch is supposed to be...on the car? or wired to the charging base?
