Would This Work

[trvlngnrs]

I have a set of 18 volt battery powered tools. Can I use this, or a
smaller 12 volt battery to test different circuits? What I am thinking
of, is connecting jumper wires to the wires at the circuit breaker (TV
antenna for example) and connecting/touching the other ends to the 18
volt battery terminals. This way I could determine if the problem was
before or after the breaker.

Is my thinking flawed?
Would using 18 volts damage anything?

OK, thanks to those who contacted me off line. I wont use an 18 volt
battery to test anything.

The reason it ran across my mind, is on my old Dutch Star I had
automatic awnings. At one time I couldn't get them to roll up. Care
Free told me to use my 18 volt battery to give it more oomph, and I
was able to close it.

Thanks again for preventing a meltdown.
