AC - Alternating Current, same thing that comes out of a wall socket
DC - Direct Current, batteries.
<<>>
When a device has AC/DC on its name plate, it can work off either of the two voltages. Many portable radios have this function. When the radio is plugged into AC, the voltage is transformed to the working DC voltage and then rectified to a DC voltage. When the radio is on battery operation, the radio operated strictly from the DC voltage supplied by the batteries. The change between voltages from AC to DC or DC to AC is almost instantaneously. This change over is done through an AC powered relay in the radio. When the AC held in relay looses its supply it de energizes and switches over to DC power if the batteries are in the radio. With batteries in the radio try it. Plug into the AC supply, turn on the radio that has batteries installed in it, unplug the AC supply and the radio will not miss a beat.

Can you use a 12v 12ah battery instead of a 12v 8ah battery?
The Ah (amp hour) rating of a battery is a measure of it's capacity. A 33Ah battery, when fully charged, will deliver 33 amps for one hour, or 11 amps for 3 hours, etc.A 7 Ah battery will only last about 20% as long as a 33Ah battery.
Can you plug a CB radio into a standard wall outlet?
No, CB radios are typically powered by a direct current (DC) power source, such as the vehicle's battery or a separate power supply designed for the radio's voltage requirements. Plugging a CB radio into a standard wall outlet, which provides alternating current (AC) power, would likely damage the radio and pose safety risks.
Can you run a 230 volt 60 hertz motor by plugging it into 110 house plug?

Will it hurt a clock which is meant to run on a 1.5 volt battery to be run by a 6 volt battery?
Using a 6 volt battery in a clock designed for a 1.5 volt battery can damage the clock's internal components and lead to overheating. The higher voltage may cause the clock to run faster than normal, affecting its accuracy. It is recommended to use the specified voltage battery for optimal performance and longevity.
Is it bad to run your laptop without a battery?

Can you take the battery out of your laptop when im at home and just pulg in to an outlet so you can consever your battery since the majority of the time you are at home using thelaptop?
When I plug in my laptop, it does not use the battery to run the computer. Instead, it uses the wall outlet to run the computer and to recharge the battery. So, by leaving my battery in my laptop when it is plugged in, I am recharging my battery and not running it down. If you take the battery out of your laptop and do not recharge it, it will not last long. The computer batteries that I know about can go from 2 to 8 hours without being recharged.

Whenever your MacBook is connected to a power adapter to recharge battery it keeps switching from battery reserve power to recharging why?
If the battery of your MacBook is fully charged whilst you have the power cable plugged in, then the MacBook will switch to battery power instead of wasting electrical power from the plug. Once the battery is run down again, the Macbook will switch back to electrical power from the plug.
