Building a firing box for model rockets. The rocket only needs a 9-volt battery (although I could put up to a double D-cell pack if necessary), will this switch work?

I think it would work. My project is still in the construction phase, so I haven't wired up yet. I really like the look of the switch, but I think you could go even simpler for your project. You could go to any auto parts store/hardware store, and get a two pin toggle switch for about 3 bucks that would do the trick. All you have to do is wire it in line to cut the power, and you're up and running. The LED is a nice touch, but the rocket's supposed to be the money maker, right? If you do go with this switch, I recommend soldering the connections. For a 9v or D-cell, you won't need heavy gauge wire, 18 gauge will be more than enough. Your choice on solid vs. stranded, for this application I don't think you'll see much difference. If you're able to respond to this, I'd love to hear how the project is going. Hope it helps. Mike

I am powering a dc fan in my roof vent using two of them. If you connect to battery you need a charging controller. dc motors dont care to much what the voltage , more on the load

This module is an exciter, if you have a weak spark and there is a module like this on it, then yes it will work. If there is not one on it, then no. You may have other issues

None Note this is s bang bang controler that is not ultra efficient as a battery charge controler. On at 13 v off at 14 v.

actually any 9volt battery of your preference would be fine; I get good use out of the Duracell duralock batteries.

I have connected it straight to a 9v battery and it works fine. It's not as bright as hard wired to a 12v system, but it does work.

Don't do it! The excess voltage would surely burn something out. (If they even fit.) There are numerous suitable "double A" batteries that will work, including many rechargeable ones.

yes but you need to wire the batteries together the proper way, check the internet for 12 volt to 24 volt dc wiring diagrams you will want to maintain 12 volts not 24, this will extend your draw down time on your batteries

It will work with NiMH I think but you need a castle link to turn the low voltage cut off. Might want to think about getting some lipo batteries. You won't regret the decision.

Oopps...sorry I thought were talking about the reed switch. Just use 12v adapter instead of 9v battery

Since this uses 4 D cells, a standard 6V 500mA adapter should suffice (each battery is 1.5V). Someone else mentioned that the manual states that a 9V adapter is required although I don't understand why. Regardless, most adapters let you switch voltage. A 500mA multi-voltage "universal" adapter costs as little as $3.75 on eBay.http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-AC-DC-ADAPTER-1-5V-3V-4-5V-6V-9V-12V-500mA-7P-/380314201945?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash;=item588c7e2f59

Probly will work but I'm not familiar with that model. Get the charger that goes with the NiMH batts tho. I use the dual 1hr rapid firestorm charger. Goes from 9.6 up to 24 volts. NiCD and NiMH batteries.

I think this will charge 9.6 V - 18 V batteries. I bought it for a 12 V battery for my cordless drill. It seems to work OK, but I rarely use this drill.

I use a 9v battery. You will need to adjust the battery connectors a little, as it tends to be a little wide.

12 Volt battery works fine. Don't forget to buy some D cells for the igniter. This is Worth Every Pebble you spend on it!

Probably....i know the Tenergy 8.4v can be charged on just your stock airsoft battery wall charger, so I'm pretty sure the 9.6 can too (I use the tenergy smart charger for all my batteries now, never hooked up my 9.6 to a stock charger) just make sure to unplug it as soon as it starts getting warm.

I guess it depends on what you mean by two batteries. If you are combining two 12V batteries, then this switch on the main Positive line should suffice to cutoff both batteries. If you have two batteries that you use individually, then you'd probably need something else. There are several dual battery disconnect switches available on Amazon in the $20-40 price range.
