Small Cabin Forum / Off-Grid Living / 6v question

Author	Message
mattd Member	# Posted: 13 Feb 2015 16:42 Reply  I got a 6v computer fan to move a little heat off my stove. A normal square 6v lantern battery turns it full power. I pulled the blue battery out of one of the kids toys they ruined, a small motorcycle IIRC. It won't turn the fan. They both measure 6.25v. The black is new, the blue has been sitting off the charger for weeks, but still has 6.25v. Any idea why it won't work? image.jpg
