Frequently Asked Questions

I have four 6 volt batteries how can I wire them so that I end up with 12 volts or is that possible?

TLG Windpower Questions and Answers, FAQ, about wind generat...
Yes you can wire up all 4 batteries to have a 12 volt battery bank. Here's what you do; set them up the way you are going to store them. Next hook the positive of one battery to the negative of another battery. You just wired those two batteries in series and you have one 12 volt battery made out of two 6 volt batteries. Do the same exact thing with the other two remaining batteries.

Is the yellow wire on the transmitter (BX88180) heavy enough for 12 volts?

Towing World Official Website
The transmitter operates or transmits as soon as it senses a change in voltage so even if there is only max of 5 volts that is ok because it is a change in voltage.

Do I need to remove the batteries when I use the optional 12 volt power cord?

GPS FAQ Answers
Models GPS-100 and GPS 200, Yes. Do not leave batteries in the unit while using the optional power cord.

Do you have 12 volt LEDs?

LED FAQ's, Inirgee, Imaginary Colours, RichWave, Full Wave, ...
Yes! Our Forever Bright(tm) 12volt light strings are wired for use on your car or boat. All you need is one cigar lighter adapter and the rest of the lights plug in end-to-end. The lighter adapter is included free with your order.

Is it possible to have extra 12 volt outlets internally & externally?

Kimberley Kampers.QA
Yes. There are additional units added with any fridge option. You can also add units near the water filler so that you can plug in an electric pump unit for your shower. You add any number at most locations.

Can I use model 12112 (12 volt BatteryMINDer) to charge and maintain my Optima batteries?

Frequently Asked Questions About Battery Chargers
Yes, you can use it on Optima batteries for short periods (2-3 months) at a time. If you need to maintain your Optima batteries for longer periods, you should get the BatteryMINDer adjusted for Optima batteries. The Optima-adjusted BatteryMINDer floats 13.6 volts, and the regular 12 volt BatteryMINDer floats 13 volts. Note that once your BatteryMINDer has been adjusted to Optima batteries, you cannot use the unit on other types of batteries.

system in their kitchen. They need 6 spotlights and three pendants over an island. It will be a 15-foot

How are batteries rated? What are Volts and Amps?

FAQ Cell Phone Accessories
Voltage of the new battery should always match the voltage of your original. However, some of the batteries may have higher amp-hour rating than the original battery found in your device. This indicates a longer run-time (higher capacity) and this will not cause any incompatibilities. In some cases, the voltage will differ from the original battery. This often happens when both Li-Ion battery and Ni-MH battery are available for the device.

Can I power the Cricket with more than 6 volts?

Handy Cricket FAQ
Remove the rectangular black component labeled D1. Then install a 78L05 or LM2931Z-5.0v voltage regulator in the 3 holes immediately underneath and to the right of the D1 position. The upper hole is the regulated +5v output, the lower hole is the unregulated input, and the middle right-hand hole is ground. Finally, replace the power supply of the Cricket with something in the 9 to 12 volt range, and you are all set.

Is 300 volt wire enough?

AX84 - The General FAQ
If the voltage potential between the wire and everything it could possibly touch (or come extremely near to) is less than 300 volts, yes. But if it gets even close to that, you should consider using wire with insulation having a higher breakdown voltage. Otherwise a power line surge might cause problems.

Can a Digibox be converted to 12 volts?

Sky digital satellite TV digibox FAQ
No Digital receiver uses a transformer in the normal sense. They all use a switch mode power supply to provide (usually) 3.3v, 5v, 12v, 13v, 18v and 30v. The 12 volt inverters that we sell are at least 80% efficient. You aren't going to get better than that. See our caravan page.

Why does your Silver Pulser unit only use one 9 Volt battery? I thought 27 Volts was needed?

SOTA Instruments Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Our Silver Pulser has a unique design. It incorporates a proprietary DC-DC switching power supply which takes the 9 Volts from the battery and steps it up to 27 (or 31) Volts. The 27 (or 31) Volt output is a constant voltage output, not just merely tripled. The output remains at 27 (or 31) Volts even as the battery drains down. This also allows the unit to be optionally powered by a Wall Transformer (Adapter), 12 Volt DC Automobile Battery, Solar Panel, etc.

Can I convert 24 and 48 volt DC to 240 volts AC ?

FUTURENERGY
Our Turbines all generate DC electricity at 12, 24, 36 or 48 volts (see specifications) You can convert this to 240 volts AC to power lighting circuits, and very light domestic appliances by using a DC to AC Inverter. These are fairly inexpensive, compact, portable and readily available. Please contact us for more information In reply to the question, the answer is yes. The potential buyer hasn't indicated what voltage of batteries he intends to use the generators to charge.

Can I wire a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt circuit?

STANDARD BASEBOARD HEATER
No, if you wire a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt circuit, you will only get about ¼ the wattage the heater was designed to deliver.

Otherwise how can you tell the different between the 12 volt and 24 volt?

www.MagnaLight.com Spotlights and Flashlights - Frequently A...
volt lights work on 24 volt circuits (military vehicles like the Hummer, Abrams tanks, Fox recons, Cougars, etc.) Sometimes, heavy equipment has 24 volts circuits as well. I am interested in one of your products. The GL-3151 (135) is what we are interested in. This will be mounted on a snowmobile trail groomer which is obviously going to be in extreme cold temps. 20 below zero is not uncommon for us and I just want to be sure that this product will work for us.

Can I run the weatherstation from a 12 volt supply?

Racers' Guide to Weather Monitoring
Yes. Included with your Alta and AltaCom II weatherstation are both a 110 adapter and separate 12 volt power cord.

How do I regulate the pressure on my 12 volt sprayer?

FIMCO Industries :: Manufacturers of Lawn and Garden Sprayer...
If your sprayer is set up to adjust the pressure, there is a Y shaped valve that splits the solution flow between the boom and the tank. Opening and closing the valve on the return line will increase or decrease the pressure.

When did 12 volt systems become available?

Advanced Design, 1947 through 1955 1st Series Truck History
volt systems became available when the 1955 2nd series trucks where introduced, which where also known as the Task Force era. This was for all 1955 2nd series Chevy trucks except GMC trucks with 6 cylinder motors, which still used the 6 volt system (positive ground).

Are primary batteries fully replaceable by rechargeable batteries even though they are 1.2 volts?

GP Batteries - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, NiMH batteries are ideal substitutes in most cases, especially in high power consumption electronic devices. Although alkaline batteries are rated at a nominal voltage of 1.5 volts, as they begin discharging, their voltage continuously drops. Over the course of discharge, the average voltage of alkaline batteries is in fact about 1.2 volts, very close to NiMH batteries. The main difference is that an alkaline battery starts at 1.5 volts and gradually drops to less than 1.
