My goal is to have a switch that will have 3 different operations, ON using battery, OFF with the ability to charge, and ON with AC adapter.

I will be using a (4) AAA batteries with a 700ma buck puck to power a green luxeon rebel on a 10mm coolbase PCB along with (2) 3mm auxillary LEDs powered from the battery itself.

To do this I found a dual-pole, triple throw switch and created the wiring diagram attached.

My main question is: should I power the LEDs straight from the battery itself? or with the Buckpuck?

Ow my head. That switch hurts to look at.

But as for your question: I would run the accent LEDs from the battery itself, provided they don't get too much current when you have it set to run with the AC adapter.

good call
