Is it possible to change a baby swing from batteries to electrical one?

is it possible to change a baby swing from batteries to electrical plug in type ,if yes how and is this safe?Is it possible to change a baby swing from batteries to electrical one?
the guy b4 me sounds smart but if you want it from another point of view, this is it



batteries use (+) and (-) places to take the electricity and it uses the electrons to create heat which does the electricity thing, of course you can take out the batteries and find any plug outlet (one side to plug into the wall and the other side is cut off showing 2 wires)



if you take the 2 wires and hook the up to the (+) and (-) sides of the baby swing and plug it in, it should work



HOWEVER, batteries are low voltage, i dont remember how much but it says on the battery, 1.5 volts or something i think. The big problem is you cant use a plug for something like a baby swing because the plug outlet in the wall is 110-120 volts and the baby swing uses batteries that give 1.5-2 volts



in other words, you will burn up/break the swingIs it possible to change a baby swing from batteries to electrical one?
Anything that runs on batteries, usually has an outlet with the amount of voltage required to operate safely that you can plug a power cord to it. For example a boombox wiht CD player, etc. If you look in the back there is a socket to plug a power cord. If it doen't requires a transformer it would say %26quot;AC%26quot;. If it does require a transformer then it would say 9 volts, 12 volts or maybe 24 volts DC or AC. Some machines take low voltage AC and do the changing to DC inside. Others will only take DC input and they will be damaged is you plug anything else. If you don't have a power input socket then you will have to do a %26quot;hard wire%26quot; connection making sure that you match the required power intput. When using a transfomer, always read the data label on top of it to see if it is what you need, It will tell you the input power (always 120 VAC) and the low output voltage either AC or DC. You can determine what input you need by checking out what kind of battery arrangement you are using now. My opinion, it is not pratical.Is it possible to change a baby swing from batteries to electrical one?
Each battery is 1.5 volts dc. Depending on the how many batteries you use will determine the adapter or power supply (measured in volts dc) you need with the proper amperage (measured in amps or milliamps).

It can be either soldered to the proper battery connections or taken apart %26amp; soldered to what ever type circuit they have- being sure to get your polarities correct. (+ %26amp; -).

I've done it with lots of my battery operated equipment here.Is it possible to change a baby swing from batteries to electrical one?
The easiest thing to do is just get some rechargeable batteries -- NiMH type -- and a good recharger. Get several sets so you can have one or more recharging while you use one. That way you don't have to worry about the safety or wiring issues.



If you aren't very familiar with electricity, you shouldn't even consider doing this with your baby as the test subject!
