I have a small 12VDC (130mA) fan that will normally be powered with an
AC adapter. However, sometimes I want to be able to run it off a
battery with the flip of a DPDT switch. Since a DPDT does not have
enough connections to switch both the positive and negative from the
power supplies, I am wondering if I can tie together the negatives from
the battery and the AC adapter, and use the DPDT switch to only move
between AC adapter positive and battery positive.
Will this work, without adverse effects to the battery?
Thanks!!
