- Today I take a small step toward saving the environment! I remove the 8 AA batteries that power my stainless steel kitchen trash can and install a very small 6V/2A power supply...and now it works perfectly...and, NO MORE BATTERIES!!

Thank you so much; it worked. I was ready to get rid of the trash can. I’m delighted!
Great video, I also have the exact same problem and don’t want to throw it out. But I will definitely try this! Thank you!
Pretty smart dude. I just bought one and it had a plug that you could buy or use 4 D batteries
Fantastic!!!!
AWESOME,THANKS FOR SHARING. Can you tell me what size adapter would I need for 4 AA batteries?
GREAT VIDEO! I have this same trash can but the sticker that displays the model number is missing. I was wondering if you could share the model number of this trash can. Thank you!
This is the model #EK9288BMT-80L
@@churro.thebulldog Did you have a manufacturers name or customer service number?
And probably didn't cost you much more than a new set of batteries to implement. Question though. Do you not have to take the amperage into account when selecting an AC adapter when doing these kind of modifications?
No the bin or appliance will draw what it needs. all that it means is the adapter has the max wattage it CAN provide to an item if needed.
Great video, thanks. Didn't work for me. I bought a 6volt 1 amp adapter, which looks just like yours except for the 1 amp. The can label says 8x1.5v = 120mA-500mA, so I thought 1 amp was good.
I measure 6.4v at the set screws on the adapter plug, so I know I've put those skinny wires in correctly. Measured 1.14v at the motor. Maybe something wrong with the circuit board? Or is 1 volt right at the motor, but the motor has failed? Or is this the resting voltage when sensor doesn't see me?
Dunno, but I now have a manual trash can. Like most of the rest of the humans.
Nice jorts poppop love this bring those back haha love this video SAVED US MONEYYYYY thank you
How did you determine what amperage to use?
You beat me to it that’s the question I wanted to ask!
How does it go from 120vAC to 6vDC?
The adapter in the video. I found one on Amazon for $6. Will need to solder adapter to wires.
👌🏽 WOW😅
wHERE DO I BUY REPLACEMENT BATTERY PACK FOR THIS MODEL TRASH CAN AND WHAT IS NAME AND MODEL OF THIS ONE
Did you have any luck tracking down the name and model of this one?
@@michaellonghofer7809 No i am afraid not but I did do this method on mine and it works perfectly and no more batteries.
Mine is the same one but the model sticker is missing on it. Sorry
I don't understand! 6 volts in each pack x 2 = 12Volts why does it work with a 6 volts transformer?
Each battery pack was 6V, and then they were connected in parallel, so the voltages do not add up to 12V, it stays 6V. Remember, batteries in series the voltages add up, in parallel the voltage stays the same.
i used cell phone charger solder cost was garage sale free box
It's the batteries that are unreliable. Anytime you buy from the retailer, those batteries, are all junk and sold by retailers. The only batteries that'll last as claim are directly from the manufacturer of those batteries.
