So I got a cheap little neon lighting sign as a stocking stuff thing. It runs on 4 AAA batteries. Just found it has a DC thing on the base that my older laptop and monitors used to use. I have a bucket of them. The DC power supply fits fine and lights it up.

Am I gonna fry it? How many volts/amps whatever does 4 AAA batteries make vs. the DC adapter. I am thinking 4-6 volts on the batteries. But I think the laptop DC supplies push in about 19 volts.

There, now you know everything I know about electricity along with when you lift the switch up the room gets bright.

No brand name, nothing to look up on it.

The batteries are 1.5 volt each. If your DC power supply is 6 volt you are right on.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Yup 6 volts is right on Amps are drawn not pushed so you will not blow it up. 1 Amp should be more than enough. If it is dim then you need more amps.
