Drawing preview
The request

“Draw a 12 V car battery overcharge alert with a fuse, reverse-polarity diode, zener threshold, transistor, buzzer, red overcharge LED and green power LED.”

Then tryChange the overcharge threshold to 14 V.Add a relay output for an external alarm.
What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use a series reverse-polarity diode and fuse for input protection

02

Set threshold with a 13V zener and base resistor

03

Drive buzzer and red LED with NPN transistor; green LED shows normal power

Reuse for low-side switched alarms where a battery or DC voltage should trigger audible and visual warning above a set threshold.
