Hey guys,
I am looking at driving some solenoids that require 12 volts. I was wondering if it would be possible to boost the voltage from a lower source, say a bunch 3 or 9 volt source and still get the solenoid to operate perfectly?
I guess I would need to figure out what the drop in available current is from the source when I increase the voltage to 12 volts. The source will be batteris.
Sorry if this is a bit confused, I'm recuperating from a mild surgery and on Vicadin right now![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
