The Great Search: 12V Lead Acid Battery for Bumper Kart
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
While debugging a non-working bumper car toy for BabyAda, we determined that the vendor, for some reason, provided a 24V DC power adapter when the battery is 12V and should be charged only up to 15V max! Uh-oh, it's time to fix it up. Let's head over to DigiKey to get a new 12V lead-acid battery that is the same size and shape so we can swap it in and recycle the old one.
