don't run it on alkiline batteries, instead get yourself a nice sealed lead acid battery, it costs about the same amount, and the lead-acid battery is rechargeable
most lead-acid batteries are 12v, so you can hook up a small compressor to it
Thank you for your time. I no longer require an answer to this question. However, I would really like to thank lemonie for his patience with me. I know for a fact that I would never be that patient with a nooblet.
What do you mean by that question? I'm sorry, I'm a novice when it comes to electronics. The hardest thing I've ever done is hook lights and 9volts up and things like that.
Let me explain this better. I'm working on a design for an airsoft MMG, and the design calls for an air compressor. I simply wanted to know if there was a cost effective way of hooking up my old one to some batteries before I run out and simply buy one that was intended to run off of batteries, but I'm leaning towards the latter at this point.

Yes, but what are the specifications / technical details of the compressor? L

SInce he says "plugs into the wall", 150V DC ain't going to do the compressor anygood.... Or the batteries ;-) Steve
