1956
Chrysler switched to a 12-volt electrical system in 1956. This change was part of a broader industry trend aimed at improving vehicle performance and reliability, as a 12-volt system provided more power for electrical components compared to the previous 6-volt systems. The transition allowed for better lighting, starting, and overall electrical efficiency in vehicles.
1967 first year for 12 volt
If that 1940 Chrysler is in original condition, it would have a 6 volt system. Originally, it was a 6-volt. However, many people convert them to 12-volt systems for convenience purposes.
1954-1955
No, the voltage rating of the switch is too low.
Two six volt batteries in series makes 12 volts so switch the charger to the 12 volt position.
The RV has a 12 Volt DC power supply that operates all the 12 Volt DC items in your RV when your plugged in to 110 V AC.
1967 was the first year for the 12 volt system in the VW's.
To control a 240-volt light with a 12-volt switch, you can use a relay. The 12-volt switch activates the relay, which acts as an electrically operated switch that can handle the higher voltage and current of the 240-volt circuit. Ensure the relay is rated for the 240 volts and the current required by the light. Always follow safety protocols and consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
Any 12 volt car battery can go into any modern car. so yes
In the switch itself...
No and yes. A 120-volt plug-in timer connects the line voltage to the timer and to the switch that is operated by the timer, so you can't use it directly for a 12-volt light.However, if you use the timer to supply power to a step-down transformer, you can run a 12-volt light off the transformer (that's how most low-voltage landscape lighting timers work). If you don't need much current, you could even plug a 12-volt AC adapter "wall wart" into the timer. Otherwise, you would have to open the timer and modify it so that the micro switch is completely isolated from the 120-volt supply and bring it out to connectors for a 12-volt supply. Make sure you know what you're doing and also don't exceed the current capacity of the switch.
