Can I use a power supply with higher milliamps?

Can I use a power supply with higher milliamps?

As the article states, you do want to match voltages between the power supply and device, but you can us a power supply with more amps than needed. The device will only draw as much current (Amps) as it needs at the time.

What happens if I use a power supply with more Amps?

Amperage Provided versus Amperage Required Device may fail, may run or charge slowly, power supply may overheat, may damage the device being charged — all depending on the magnitude of the difference. The amperage provided by your charger must match or exceed what the device being charged requires.

Does amperage matter power supply?

We recommend higher amperage to ensure cooler power supply and optimal charge time. If you get a charger with amperage less than your original power supply, you risk overheating your charger, burning it and in many case your device will stop functioning and/or charging.

Can I use a 12V power supply on a 9V?

You can’t use a 12V adapter to power a 9V guitar pedal. A pedal that only handles 9V can be destroyed by using a 12V adapter. It’s possible for a power supply to ruin your pedal even if you get the voltage right.

Can I use less amps than needed?

Is the DC adapter the same as the 1000ma?

The DC adapter with output of 12 V @ 1000ma is the same as 12 V @ 1Amp. Since your device requires 2Amps of power, it will draw more power than the adapter can put out so the adapter will quickly overheat and burn out. How do you make a battery solution for a device requiring 9v 1000mA power?

Is it possible to burn out a 1000ma supply?

It may or may not work. The 1000mA supply is just delivering about 60% of the power. It could burn out the 1000mA supply. Does 1000mA equal 1A?

Which is more powerful 150mA or 1000ma?

1000mA is more powerful assuming that they are operating on the same voltage 1000mA will do the job 6.67 times faster than a 150mA Can you use a 9v 1000ma intsead of a 9v 500ma? A 9v 1000ma adapter will operate a 9v 500ma device. Will a 5.0v 1000mA charger, charge 5.0v 2.1A device? no Will 120v 1000mA power adapter work with my 120v 300mA device?

Can a 1000ma Charger charge a 500mA device?

A 9v 1000ma adapter will operate a 9v 500ma device. Will a 5.0v 1000mA charger, charge 5.0v 2.1A device? no Will 120v 1000mA power adapter work with my 120v 300mA device? Yes, It is only when you try and connect a device that draws more that 1000mA will you get into trouble, as 1000mA is the load limit the power adapter is designed for.
