Hello,

I have a problem with most of my equipments, and it’s because they are battery operated. I would really like to remove the batteries once they die, in order to replace them with a cable plugged to the sector.

For example, I have right now a hair clippers that can totally run if it’s wired and if the battery is okay, but refuses to run once the battery is dead, even plugged in.

I have only basic electrical knowledge amd I’m afraid to simply make a bridge to replace the batteries. Would someone of you know what is the best/easiest solution ?

Thanks for your attention !

    Uhh, something tells me hair clippers are not pulling 160+W. It’s a small DC motor that vibrates some clippers, not an electric scooter.

      You’d be surprised how much current a stalled motor will draw. It’s only going to be drawing that power for a short period of time though, not continuously like a scooter would.

      They’ll run with less power, just expect them to struggle more.
