Hello all,
I have three of those Star Wars animated sword battling figures (Darth Mul and the two Jedi dudes). When plugged into each other at the base, the two Jedi's gang up on Darth.
Anyways, they each contain 4 banks of 3 AA batteries. I say banks, because each group of 3 batteries is isolated from the other group ... at least from the visible exterior.
How do I use a DC converter with two wire (+/-) and wire up one of these? Should I just soldier up 4 wires, one to each + starting point on each bank, and another 4 wires, one to each - ending point on each bank, twist the 4 positives together and hook to the DC +. Likewise for the - ?
Actually, I tried this and didn't have any luck. Which leads me to my next question. How powerful of a DC converter do I need? If there a 4 banks of
3xAA, thats 12 x 1.5 volts? What size of a DC should I use? The one I have is 3.7 volt, 350 mA.Thanks for reading and I appreciate your comments.
Cheers, Eric
