I’m trying to test the components in my SAI system. I wanted to test my SAI pump so I hooked it up to a 12v battery. It made a little noise then nothing. Was it already dead or did I kill it?

There are videos on YouTube that show hooking the pump to 12v to test its operation. Hooking up a 12v DC motor to 12v shouldn’t kill it, should it? It’s been a while since my EE theory classes in college. So I need a 12v power supply where I can vary the amps to properly test the SAI pump?
