- Help reading to decide how to power units without burning them up
New to electricity so take it easy on me...
I have a light unit: 14 VDC @ 3.2A / 28VDC@ 1.6A
2 questions:
I was curious to see if a 9V Duracell battery will power it up: and it turned it on but I noticed my battery head bubbled up. From my understanding correct me if I am wrong on a 9V Duracell - 550mAH = 900 Milliamps in an Hr. that converts to .55A? Comparing 14 VDC @ 3.2A and my 9V @ .55A the light unit should have not turned on but it did ...why? And why did it cause the battery to bubble up?
Last,
How would I read and know what power cord to use to turn it into a lampstand?
Thank you for your time!
