Is there any chance that running an SBrick with a 9v battery might cause it to short out or cause thermal shut down? I've been poking around the forum a bit to see if I can find an answer. I'm less worried about the voltage because it seems like a 9v battery is well within the operating peramaters of the SBrick. I guess my question is; is it likely that using a 9v battery to power the Sbrick and a Power Functions M-motor would cause enough resistance to bring the peak amps up to around or above 3amps to cause damage to the SBrick or motor ICs?
