running an emag on a 9v?

[durtysoufcraka]

my emag battery is broken. while i wait for a new battery would my emag break if i used a 9v that i put inside my battery housing. and put on top of a bunch of tissues in the bottom so the 9v fit onto the charge screws...would this hurt anything other than the envoirnment in the amount of 9v's i'll be going through?

Won't run on 9V.

It needs like 15-16v minimum and quite a bit of amperage at that,sorry.

It wont work on 9 volts...you would need 2 nine volts in there... ;)

Yes, you can run 2x 9V's.. I have done it, the battery life isn't all that great and I highly recomend getting high quality ones like the E^2's from Energizer.

Get 2 of those 9v clips, wire them in SERIES.

Cut the connecter off your other battery and solder the 9v contraption on there. Put it in your battery housing... you need long bolts to replace the ones that are on there 'cuz the 2x9V's are longer than the e-mag battery.

Hope this helps.
