If only have concrete / cement without plaster ceiling have to use cutter to create a "longkang" to put wires, and plaster it back. Using diamond cutter will be fast and easy, only -ve side is dusty, therefore need to wet the area first to reduce the dust. |

9V battery is just the voltage high. But the Amp is very low. Even lower than the AA.
You need high Amp to run if the voltage is lower. |

9v battery is the least amps you can get. You may need like 100 of it.
Check the motor watt, you know the AH required. A 200 watt motor, need at least 18amps for a 12v battery. |
