Can you use a 9.6 volt DC drill battery to extend the life of a standard 9 volt DC electronic item?
no, a 9 volt battery is small (goes in a smoke detector) a 9.6 volt battery is much larger, and it is not a DC battery (direct current) but NiCd (nickel cadmium.) two totally different things.
What is typical source of ac power?
* Coal burning power stations. * The electricity grid. * The power outlet on your wall.
How does a 9 volt battery charger work?
I'm not 100% sure, I came on this post seeking an answer to the same question... But, I do have a general idea of how it works. Basically AC current flows from the wall socket through a cord until it gets to the weird box that is in all computer chargers. This box I assume to be a rectifier. This rectifies, or converts AC to DC thus allowing the current to flow the rest of the length of the cord and charge your battery. Trivial fact: A mac book charger has a single wire coming from rectifier to computer. How is this possible? Doesn't DC operate on two poles? Correct, it does. The charger has an inner wire and an outer wire which are insulated from each other. Hope I helped some.
What is the difference between electricity in a battery vs the electricity in an electrical outlet?
One is AC and the other is DC. AC- alternating current is used in electrical outlets DC- direct current is used in batteries. An electrical outlet in your house would have 120 volts (the ones you use most, your tv, lights, radio are plugged into) or 240 volts (the ones your stove and dryer plug into). A battery voltage varies widely: AA & AAA batteries have 1.5 volts, a 9 volt battery has 9 volts, your car battery has 12 volts.
What happens to the current in a circuit if a 1.5 volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 9 volt battery?
Current will go up by a factor of 6 times in that scenario.
Can a 9 volt 100mA ac adapter be substituted for a 9 volt DC 300mA adapter?
No. an AC adapter will not work for equipment that needs DC.
Where can you find DC elcectricity?
a 9 volt battery

Have a Universal ac dc adaptor and want to use it on a devise that says DC 10 Volt What do you choose on the adaptor it has 7 9 or 12?
Use the 9 volt setting.
What is typical source of ac power?
* Coal burning power stations. * The electricity grid. * The power outlet on your wall.
At 9" this is a portable tv, but does it come with a battery pack or what?
This television has standard AC/DC operation.
Can you use a 3 volt charger for a 9 volt battery?
No
Can you use a 6 volt charger for a 9 volt battery?
No, the battery will be overcharged and battery damage will occur if it is done.
Is a lead acid car battery the same as a 9 volt alkaline battery?
No, a lead acid battery is a wet cell battery and a 9 volt alkaline battery is a dry cell battery.
Can the Alesis Micron run on battery power?
Not normally. It takes a 9 volt AC adapter. If you were to get something to replace that that ran on batteries, it could.

What Happens if a 9 volt battery touches another 9 volt battery?
It heats up very hot and may explode.
