Hi all. A question for electrically-minded Geeks.
I've been trying to find replacement batteries for my elderly B&D v9650 Dustbuster. No joy - way out of date, apparently.
However, I have several dozen power adapters of various voltage and amperage (from modems, external hard drive containers, phones etc etc) and it occurred to me that I might be able to power this gadget with one of these, once I determine the motor's power requirements.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Or is it possible that it could work? Obviously it'll end up being a mains powered device, instead of battery powered, but that's OK.
Comments would be appreciated
