Can a 12v windshield wiper pump be run from a wall wart?


Just the little squirter pump motor?

I measured 2A continuous (more than I expected, but all auto electrics seems
suprisingly inefficient) that'd be a large wall-wart or a small brick. or it
could just be my cheap DMM playing up.

Yep, that confirms what I said earlier, so I'd say your cheap DMM was
doing OK! bg

They are *really* inefficient!



And they get hot, too. You'd think that the pump designer would at
least use the pumped liquid to cool down the motor. Naah...
