will a 9v battery power a 12v motor

by Greyson Adams Published 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago

Will a 12V motor run on 9V battery? Yes, either in series or in parallel. Most 12v dc motors will rotate on only 9v. Putting two 9v batteries in parallel will increase the current and give you better result than two 9v batteries in series since motors like current more than voltage, i.e. they suck a lot of current when starting up.

In principle, it's probably possible to run a 12V motor on 9V -- it'll just run slower and with much less torque. But if by "a 9V battery" you mean a typical PP3 size battery (i.e, the rectangular ones with a snap connector on top), the answer is almost certainly "no".Jul 16, 2019

Can you run a 12V motor on 9v?

In principle, it's probably possible to run a 12V motor on 9V -- it'll just run slower and with much less torque. Click to see full answer. Also, can a 9v power a 12v?

Can a 9v battery be used as a regular battery?

But if by "a 9V battery" you mean a typical PP3 size battery (i.e, the rectangular ones with a snap connector on top), the answer is almost certainly "no".

Can I use a 12V power adapter on a 9V pedal?

Using a 12V adapter on a pedal designed to only handle 9V can completely destroy it. Voltage is only one part of the picture and even if you get the voltage right, it's possible for a power supply to ruin your pedal.

Why are 9V batteries so weak?

9V batteries are pretty "weak" because the other half of the story is how much current they can supply at that voltage (Power = Voltage * Current). If you want to spin a big motor, the battery voltage will sag because of the battery's internal resistance. The lower the supply voltage, the slower your motor will spin.

Can you power a DC motor with a 9V battery?

It can run at 9v,12v, or 18v.

Will a 9V battery power a 12V fan?

Yes, you can do it, but the battery won't last very long. It will probably run at about 3/4 the speed and draw about 3/4 the current (rough estimate) so around 100mA.

Which battery is suitable for 12V DC motor?

This Rechargeable battery is a 12V 2000mah Li-ion Battery and it is specially designed for powering the devices which use 12V DC power. You can use this battery to robo war, robo race drive of power full dc motors and many more use. Specifications: Output voltage: 10.8 to 12.6 DC.

Can I use 9V adapter for 12V?

Plugging in an adapter with a lower voltage would not generally harm the unit. But if the polarity is reversed then it probably would cause damage and that may be what has happened. It may just have blown a fuse.

How do you power a 12V DC fan?

To power a DC fan, we feed the fan its rated voltage. For example, to power a 12VDC fan, we need to feed it 12 volts DC. This power can come from any DC voltage source, such as a DC power supply or even batteries. If using batteries, in order to get 12V output, you would have to place 8 'AA' batteries in series.

Can you run a 12V fan on 5v?

Most fans will not start up at 5v but many will run at 5v. The start up voltage is how much voltage the fan needs to overcome interia and begin to move the fan blades. Once the blades get up to speed, the fan can run on much less voltage. Most fans list the start up voltage is around 7v.

How do you select a battery for a DC motor?

Check the nominal voltage of each of the products you selected:Electronics (microcontroller, motor controller power etc) usually operate at 9V-12V. Some operate at low as 3.3V and 5V.Actuators (DC gear motors, stepper motors, servos etc) usually operate at 6V to 12V. ... Sensors usually operate 5V.

How do you size a battery for a motor?

To calculate how long a battery will last, we need two figures; the battery's capacity and how much current will be drawn by the motor. Batteries measure their capacity in milliamp hours, mAh. This states how many hours the battery can supply 1 mA of current, or how many mA of current it can supply for one hour.

Can I use 12V battery for 12V motor?

If the motor & battery are rated for the same voltage & the battery has enough capacity to supply the motor load, There's no problem.

What is the difference between 9V and 12V?

However, there is not much difference between 9V and 12V. It does not take much current to be drawn from the battery before it drops 2V at its terminals. A small mount of extra drop in the wiring and the internal 9V supply drops. After that, the available current from the controller drops quite quickly!

What happens if I use the wrong voltage adapter?

The device could power on, and just draw more current from the adapter than it's designed for. This could cause the adapter to overheat or fail. Or, the device may power on, but the adapter may not be able to keep up, causing the voltage to drop (see voltage too low above).

How do you convert 12V to 9V?

To reduce a 12V circuit to 9V, place two resistors in series within the circuit. Find the difference between the two voltages (12V - 9V = 3V) to determine the total amount of resistance needed.
