Yesterday, I found a current transformer, and the the output is 9 volts at 400
Ma. I bought this since I intend save batteries and get my power from the wall
sockets instead. after doing some testing I found out that the technic motors do
run, but quite a bit faster than with batteries (it could have been that they've
been depleted a bit, but still...

You'll probably find your batteries are about 1.2V so with six batteries you get
7.2V. Marketing and advertising states they are 9V motors so you should be able
to take any lego motor (that has 6 batteries) upto 9V and get an additional 25%
into the motor (the output varies) over 7.2V batteries !

Normal use of any motor will shorten it's lifespan. Over use will shorten it
further. The question is, how long do they last under normal use ?
