Hey guys,
I have some motorized blinds that came with battery packs. Its 8 AA batteries in series giving me 12V to the motor. I want to do away with the batteries and hard wire them.
Taking the thing apart a little... It shows the power requirement is .7Amp and 12v. This does not seem to be too common of a power supply. Any issue using a 12v 1Amp power supply? Or will it give the unit too much wattage and over work the motor?
Next I have a little more complicated one... Its three blinds all on one window. I would have to run the wires all together. Do I need individual power supplies for something like this? Or can I splice all the wires together and get a 2.1Amp power supply? What would happen if I only moved one blind? Would that one bind get all 2.1 Amps?
Should I be doing this another way?
Thanks!
