Hey, I have a hobby motor for a automatic fishing reel project and I'd like to power it with the smallest number/size of batteries possible. This is the motor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072N84V8S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It needs 12V and 100 mA according to the specifications.
I tried to use a joule thief with a AA battery, but as I'm sure you guys could have told me, it didn't work. (I still don't really know why though, current?) A 12V A23 battery works, but those are very low capacity, only 55 mAh, so if there were some way to boost one or two AA's or coin cells up to the required voltage and current, I'd rather do that.
Would two coin cells and a voltage doubler circuit work?
Thanks.
