Powering a 12v Solenoid with a small battery.


i working on project requires powering 12v solenoid battery (https://www.elecrow.com/electromagnetic-lock-p-1609.html). need find solution power solenoid small (aka not large 12v battery). needs powered few seconds @ time activate magnets unlock lock. operates @ 350ma.

i bought 12v 23a small batteries hoping work, lock not activate automatically. i'm assuming battery not providing enough current, i'm not sure. thought 23a fine because need operate solenoid few seconds max.

if has ideas on possible battery alternative may not of though of or knows of way power 12v solenoid lower volt power supply appreciative. (would 2 9-volts or 8 aas best options?)

thanks in advance

your solenoid requires 4w operate, hold few seconds requires storing perhaps 20j or more,
beyond reach of reasonably sized electolytic caps.  ultracap possible, have
voltages of 2.7v or so, not match unless use boost converter.  you'd need ultracap
rated high enough current, , charge 2 aa cells series diode drop voltage
perhaps.

for instance:

a 23a battery have feeblest of current ratings, worse pp3 9v battery, , are
bad enough.
