What voltage battery is needed to run this motor? Will a 9V battery work?

7.2-8.4 Volts. 9 Volts would be over kill and burn up the motor unless you keep it below 2 amps.

If you have a traxxas 9v battery then yes but if your going to use this motor out of a RC car then im not sure

I would not recommend due to the contact pins on the battery where it makes contact to the equipment. I would use what is recommended and what battery comes with each equipment. Higher voltage will also burn the motor up.

Marjorie, could you let me know what is the model number on the riding mower? I will be able to cross reference to a suitable battery afterwards. Being a full sized machine, I would say that a 12volt 5amp battery (the one from this webpage) would be insufficient to run it.

If I recall correctly from when I installed the unit, it should be a 9v battery.

I guess this is 110V. The issue I had is that the motor burned out at the first try. Would not recommend.

I believe that is a 3.6V battery, and you will need at least 5V to drive the motors properly. So, connecting two or more of them of them in series should work. I found that a 9-12V source with a speed controller (so the final voltage to the motor is 6-8V) works well.

Don't Do It. The motor is a 12 volt NOT 24 v and I'd expect you'd damage it. Now, if you put the batteries in Parallel ( + to + to + motor terminal and - to - to - terminal on the motor) you would probably extend running time considerably but remain at 12 volts. Call the manufacturer to be sure. Properly powered this is a good little motor.

Nope, any 9v should work. I'm using a one spot power supply on it right now

I wired my motor for 220v. Let me check the specs (including breaker) and get back to you later tonight or tomorrow.

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

regular houshold 110v to power it. Not sure what voltage the motor is regulated to.

You can find pretty inexpensive bottle batteries at bmsbattery.com. A 36V 10Ah bottle battery should be sufficient for this motor kit.

The housing of the 40v might fit but I would not want to burn up the motor with a higher voltage battery.

Yes, it does work with a 9v battery. It will not reach full potential with a 9v battery.

It uses 3 AAA batteries not 9V. AAA's are 1.5v per battery. It uses photo-electric technology.

I was pretty sure it took a 9v, I just opened mine to confirm. 9 volt. Take care...

I guess you can use any battery on it as long as the voltage and the amperage is within the specification of the original battery that you are replacing. I replaced my battery with 8 NiMH, 1.2V, 2000 mAh which brought the total voltage at 9.6 volts. It worked perfectly and it also increased the running time before I have to recharge the batteries.
