can I power this motor with ether a 12v battery or a car alternator.

Motors are designed to pull power at a constant rate. It would be best to supply that power using a battery or a high energy capacitor with a feed. It is possible to power this directly from an alternator given that the alternator will be running continuously, the alternator is providing enough current, and the converter is supplying a steady voltage. With that being said, if you want to hook this up using an alternator, provide a storage unit (battery or capacitor) to draw the power from and allow the alternator to recharge your storage unit. Also remember, at 12 volts, the amount of torque and max RPM will be a lot lower then running at 36 volts. Motors are designed to pull power at a constant rate.

u can put pretty much any 12 volt battery in this car look it up on youtube. You can pop the top off and connect it to another battery easily in miniutes

It will most likely will run through a "blower" switch on the console, but yes you could just hook it right up to a 12V battery if you are using it for another purpose.

Automotive Tools Distributor. It's their brand and no you cannot use electricity to power it. You need an air tank.

Yes it can. We use it on both 12v car and 12v motorcycle batteries. Just set and forget. Just make sure you select the correct size and battery type. If you're charging a deeply discharged car battery though it will take awhile as it's charge rate is only 1.1 amps.

Yes you can use this to power a device with a higher voltage requirement than what your motorcycle runs on. Assuming a 12v system, you could run up to a 35v device. You just need to make sure the amperage draw from the device isn't more than this unit can do, and more than your motorcycle can take.

This battery would be way too small for that. This is only good for 600 watts. So you would need about 8 of them. Your going to need an upgraded alternator for 10k watts

No, you need a 12v. external power source. I have a trolling motor and I connect to it. I guess you could use a smaller 12v. battery maybe a motorcycle or lawnmower battery. I'm not sure of the current draw to know how small a battery you could use.

You can use a 12 volt battery, or a battery pack. I think it would even work with more than 12 volts. I use a small solar panel that I got for 6-7 dollars. Great little motor!!!

If your car's 12V outlet works with the engine off it will. If you're going to be doing this for too long I would recommend againt it or you will end up with a dead battery.

That is correct, 12v is required. You will also need space for the battery fairly close to the motor mount. Original leads from the motor are about 4'

I doubt it, they call for 12v. I have them wired up on motorcycle battery and the run great for me.

No. That isn't possible, but I do have a very similar item made by Stan Sport (yellow) that gives you an option between battery pack and 12V battery. I hook it up to a Duracell power pack and it's great. Could also be powered from a car battery. This item won't do that.

While it might be awkward, you certainly could use a 12 volt automotive or marine battery. In fact, while I use mine with a lawn tractor, I use a marine battery used for a trolling motor rather than the tractor battery. This is because I was experiencing charging problems with the additional load on the tractor battery. I just strap the battery on the mower deck.

this is a 12 volt DC fan. it will run as long as it has electricity from your cigarette lighter or another 12 volt source. The vehicle motor does not need to be running

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

Yes, you just won't get as long a run time as higher Ah batteries. It's just a DC motor if the battery will fit it will run.
