The resistors Rand Rare applied to terminalsand, respectively, of the switched-mode power supply. These resistors Rand Rare current-limiting resistors and function to control the output power and current. A standard buck regulator may be coupled to terminalof the switched-mode power supply. The buck regulator includes a diode Dand an inductor L. The diode Dand inductor Lprovide DC rectification and filtering of the high-frequency switch voltage from the switched-mode power supply

Battery charge indicator

A housing for a Cigarette Lighter Adapter (CLA) or accessory adapter plug facilitates insertion of the plug into a CLA or accessory adapter receptacle. In one embodiment of the invention, the housing is formed in a generally cylindrical shape with an expanded diameter portion defining a gripping portion which facilitates the gripping of the device. The housing may be used to house circuitry for a battery charger and include an indicator light to indicate the state of charge of the battery being charged.
