Best Answer

you can but if you do, you will/might: A) kill the motor,B)overload your 18 volt power supply, and C) maybe short a breaker if your power supply is also an ac to dc converter

Can you use a 3 volt battery to run an 8 volt motor?

You can but the motor may not run, however you will not burn the motor.


Can a 12 volt motor turn a mini alternator to charge a 12 volt battery that runs a car stereo?

If you can get the battery to run the motor, write it up in a science journal. You'll be rich. Sure but what are you going to use to power the 12 volt motor? You will have to use another battery which you could just use to power the radio in the first place.

Can a 12 volt battery safely run a 9 volt motor?

Running a 9 volt Motor on a 12 volt BatteryUsually, I have gotten away with this, BUT... depending on the quality of the windings in the motor, it could burn through the tiny wire in the motor winding. I have done this many times with no problem, but have also burned out a few motors.One good example is that I have several [from the "early" days] cordless drills. The early ones used anywhere from 6 to 9 volt battery packs.I then bought a 12 volt drill at Harbor Freight and Tools, and when I got it home and examined it I realized that the 12 volt battery pack was IDENTICAL in size to the older 6 and 9 volt packs.So, after charging the new 12 volt pack, I tried it in the older 6 and 9 volt drills. Lo and behold, it worked fine, with just a little more RPM and drilling power.I then called my Electrical Engineer brother and asked him about it and he said that those small drill motors are not that sensitive to even a doubling of voltage and perform OK with 12 volts on 6 and 9 volt units.That was about 4 or 5 years ago, and for some time, I've been using 12 volt battery packs for all three units [6, 9, and 12 volts]. When time came to replace failed 6 and 9 volt units, I switched to 12 volt packs for all 3 drills.Again, I think 12 volts will be safe for your 9 volt motor, but it depends on the motor.

if it is any think over 1 volt it is not a cell battery it is just a 6 volt battery if you had a 1 volt then it would be a cell battery

Can a 9 volt battery run a 12 volt fan motor?

Possibly but but not for long. The 12v motor will draw more current than the 9v battery can supply and the undervoltage will cause the motor to run hotter than normal thus shorting its usefull life.


How many hours a 850amps battery can run a 2000 watts motor?

It depends on the battery's voltage. Such a battery's capacity is given in ampere-hours, not amperes. An 850 amp-hour 12 volt battery can theoretically operate a 12 volt motor for about 12 minutes but in practice it's probably, maybe a lot less, since the motor will probably stop as the battery nears its depletion.

Can a 12 volt DC gearmotor run directly off a 12 volt auto battery?

No everyone thinks that but youcan get a shortcircuit it is always good to go above and beyond just incase. Sure you can, that is what the gear motor is rated at. With the engine running there is an output of 13.8 volts coming from the alternator. Just make sure that there is a fuse between the battery and the load for the protection of the battery, if the gear motor ever shorts out the fuse will open the circuit.
