Elec question
« on: 15 May 2015, 11:03:54 »
I have an old caravan mover system that I'm selling as spares repair, I need to show it works to the buyer. It has pos and neg cables but no control unit so can I just connect the cables to a 12v battery , don't want to burn anything out and render the motors useless as I've  had a very good offer made on them ! Forgive the dumb question but elecktricity is a mystery to me  :-[

Is it designed to work on a 12v system?

Some are, some bigger ones can be 24v, Trucks, Lorries are 24v etc.

So, anyway, the Toaster, was it a 240V Toaster?  ;D

230V toaster surely.

But yes, it will be 12V, beware as they will be a series DC motor and produce quite a splat when you place them across the battery terminals.
