Hi
I have a deadlock on a sliding door, utilizing a 12v vehicle window motor to operate it. At the moment I connect it direct to a vehicle and it works fine but is a bit of a kerfuffle. I tried to use to 9v alkaline batteries in series - there is quite a long lead in so that would cover any voltage drop, and 18v for the short time in use will not damage the motor ( I think/hope?!). Nothing happened - I guess the batteries dont give a sufficient discharge rate to run the motor and that I need some capacitance to start/run it?
Can anyone give me some idea as to what type/rate of capicitors I would need?
Thanks in advance, john.
