I have an electric car seat laying around at home which has a couple brushed DC motors inside.
The motors are rated at 12V and I am trying to get them moving but for some reason neither my old PC power supply (rated at 15A) nor my li-ion battery pack (4S4P 16.6V, rated at 10000mAh and 10C) seem to be powerful enough to make the motors move the chair.
Shouldn't the battery already be beefy enough?
I was going to buy an external power supply to connect to the seat but it confuses me that the battery doesn't seem to be powerful enough.
It would be really great if someone could clear things up for me!
Thank you very much in advance!
