mortenm Posted April 7, 2021 Hi. I've bought some train parts, and got a single 9V train motor I have nothing to use it for, so I would like to sell it again. In order to get the most out of the sale, I would, of course, like to know if the motor works. Is it possible to connect a batterybox to the connector on the top of the motor? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pdaitabird Posted April 7, 2021 It should be possible. Even a 9v battery and two wires will do if you don't have the Lego parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashi Valkoinen Posted April 7, 2021 PF AA or AAA battery box and a short or long PF extension cable would do it. Put the cable's dark bluish gray plug to the battery box, the light bluish gray plug to the motor. This will test, if the inside MOTOR works. But this method won't test, if current pickup is working. Most 9V motors die because power pickups inside got dirty (repairable) or broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mortenm Posted April 7, 2021 Okay, I see. I have all other possibilities for testing, than an 9V track. I'll try to power it from the top connector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kieran Posted April 12, 2021 If you have a battery and son wire, you can hold it against the wheels on the motor and they should spin, no it with the motor on its back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
