Generally speaking, if the plugs fits at all, then there is a pretty good chance that it will work, and there is only a VERY slight chance that it could actually cause any harm to your device.
Are all 12V plugs the same?
In terms of powering accessories and devices, like your cellphone, there is functionally no difference between cigarette lighter sockets and accessory sockets. If you aren't sure which one you're dealing with, plug into any or all of them to suit your power requirements.
Can I use 12V 2A for 12V 1.5 A?
Yes, there will be no problem. As long as the voltage of 12 Volts is same, it will work perfectly fine on a 12 Volt 1 Amp power supply as it would on a 12 Volt 0.17 Amp power supply.
How do I know if my power adapter is compatible?
- The voltage of the adapter has to be identical.
- The amperage (amps) of the adapter has to be equal or greater than the device.
- The polarity of the adapter has to be identical.
Are all 12V power supplies the same?
Yes, they are likely interchangeable even though voltage is not the same. This is because the voltage difference is within specs, and I am GUESSING you could go even higher or lower in voltage.
Can you use any 12V adapter?
Yes, you can use a 12V 3A power adapter on 12V 1.5A device. You can also use a 12V 0.5A power adapter but the charging time will be three times longer. If you are a cautious person then you should use a manufacturer recommended power adapter.
Can I use 12V 2A for 12V 2.5 A?
Short Answer : Yes.
Can I use 500mA instead of 1000ma?
If the device requests 500ma and the power supply can handle up to 1000ma, it's fine. The device will only draw what it needs and no more. If the device requests 500ma and the power supply can handle up to 1000ma, it's fine. The device will only draw what it needs and no more.
What does mA mean on a power adapter?
Glossary Term: mA. Definition. Milliampere, or milliamp: 1/1000 of an Ampere. Ampere is the basic unit for measuring electrical current.
Does mA matter for power supply?
Your power supply must meet or exceed the pedal's amperage requirement, usually measured in milliamps (mA). Not doing so could cause irregular performance or even damage! A milliamp meter is useful to view the exact amperage draw of a pedal.
Can I use 500mA instead of 300mA?
Since 300mA is less than 500mA you should be fine. It will work just fine. Make sure the plug fits with correct polarity. In asking the question the person doesn't understand the difference in current available and current needed.
Can I use 12V 1A for 12V 2.5 A?
Yes You can 12 V 2A for 12 V 1A.
Can I use a 1.5 amp charger for a 1 Amp device?
Yes, it is absolutely safe to charge a device with a charger that has more current capacity than needed.
