Coin Cell 1350 and 1xAAA 1349 Mini Inverters

Post by wagnerpj »

I recently purchased two EL wire starter kits and a few other EL wire supplies from Adafruit. Although the EL wire works with the multi-cell inverters that came with the kits, neither the coin cell mini inverter 1350 OR the EL 1xAAA mini inverter 1349 work with either the red or white EL wire I got from you. I have tested the batteries, the batteries are inserted correctly, and I have done all the troubleshooting I can do.

I am assuming the two inverters are shot, unless they actually don't put out enough juice to power the wire.

Please advise.

Thanks

op: well never mind, I guess. On closer reading of the product descriptions, it looks like the two mini-inverters will only power 20" of your EL wire, and the starter kits came with EL wire that is 8.2 feet long. Mini-inverters don't put out enough juice for your EL wire this long...
