6 AA vs 8 AA
Almost certainly not.
There is always a slight risk, but many things that also work off car or mains supplies are pretty accomodating on voltage. What they don't like is reverse voltage and large spikes. Brian -- -- From the sofa of Brian Gaff - Blind user, so no pictures please! "Jake" wrote in message ... I have an electronic GPS datalogging device that is designed to be powered through a 9v battery. It runs the battery down in about 2 hours, and because it goes through batteries so quickly, I have been looking for solutions to make it last longer I have had success in replacing the 9v battery with a 6 AA battery holder with attached 9v clip and this powers the device for significantly longer with 2500 mAh rechargeables giving 7.2v. I have seen 8 AA battery clips available, that would give me 9.6v but I am concerned about overvolting and damaging the device. Is the extra 0.6v likely to cause damage? |
