@JRE I came across a supposedly AC to DC lithium ion charger circuit. It does output DC and does charge DC batteries. It only has 1 diode, a timer, 3 104 caps, 3 maybe 2.3 K ohm resistors, 1 13001 SBD transistor, 47 uF and 10 uF caps. With a transformer at the start. It has 3 schottky dides. 1 N4007 diode in parallel with 1 Schottky diode. The other 2 schottky diodes are in parallel on the other side.
@JRE My question is. Do schottky diodes act the same as regular diodes do? I've read about them, but it doesn't make it clear as to if they act exactly how other diodes do. This is why I have the question.
