Hello everyone I'm starting a project for work we recently have been aloud to bring in a small radio or battery powered speakers i am using a tablet computer powered from a large battery used in sit down hilos and such but I'm constantly on the move and i don't have the luxury of a wall socket so battery's are going to be needed I plan on building a small wooden box putting a 6 inch speaker in it and stuff some kind of battery power in it
I have decided on using a sonic t amp which is powered by 8 AA battery's I ditched that idea and decided to wire in 8 D battery's so it would last longer but I'm still doubting that it will be much more cost effective so i was wondering if i could use a 12 volt rechargeable tool battery
The amp comes with a 12 volt 1200 mah ac adapter but I'm thinking the rechargeable battery will have a higher amp rating then necessary and it only needs up to 1.5 amps i did find a couple around 1.5 but would measure before i decided to go through with it.
Would it be possible to do this I know with a lower amp rating the voltage could fluctuate on the battery but being that alkaline battery's normally measure more then 1.5 volts new the amp should be able to accommodate for it. I hope :-/ is this a lost cause or should i just stick with alkaline i really don't want to keep dumping money into batteries if i don't have to.
Also if a higher amperage is the case is there a way to lower it even though there may be a slight voltage drop the amp should still be able to operate on it
Thank you in advance mike
