gadean Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 If I have a device which uses 2 AA batteries does this mean the device requires 3 volts to operate? (1.5v x 2?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadean Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 okay, thanks! Yeah, it was a dumb question but I had to be sure before I rewired something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xta Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Mostly, sure, but there are cases that the batteries are not in serial but rather in parallel setup, gathering more mA and still being 1.5v. be sure that they are in serial setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 No. You can only be certain iff (if and only if) you connect them in serial like in many remote controls. Secondly, it may not even require 3 volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 ...gathering more mA and still being 1.5v. Voltage is independant of current. Voltage sources will produce a steady voltage regardless of current. Current sources will do the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
