In short: Yes.
As long as the voltage is the same, it makes no difference if the rated current is higher on the supply than on the device you want to operate. If you would take a 1.5 amp adapter for a 2 amp device, you overload the adapter which results in shut down or failure.

∙ 15y agoSo long as the Ampage is less than or the same on the higher voltage adapter, there should be no problem. If the ampage is higher, then the Wattage will be higher.

∙ 15y agoNo. It will almost certainly wreck the device. Get the proper adapter.

∙ 15y agoYou might overpower the 12 volt device, thus shortening its life. If it is a very sensitive device, you might burn it out almost immediately.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNot a good idea. You may destroy your 15 Volt device.

∙ 10y agoYes, there is more than enough capacity to operate a 1.5 amp device. The 3 amp power supply has the capacity to operate two 1.5 amp devices.

Can you use a 3 amp adapter on 5 amp device?
NO
Can you change the 1 amp fuse on a shaver adapter to a higher voltage so you can use it with something else?
Changing a fuse size does not change the voltage output. An adapter is a transformer. The transformer in this adapter has a set of turn ratios determined by the manufacturer to produce a specific secondary voltage when inputted with a specific voltage. You may be able to use the adapter on another device but it has to conform to the specifications of the adapter as it now stands. The fuse protects the primary side of the adapters transformer so as to not overload the transformer. If the fuse is up sized then the risk of overloading the adapter becomes a possibility. This could burn the windings of the transformers secondary and render the adapter useless.
How do you charge garmin nuvi 205?
To charge the nuvi 205, simply connect a Mini USB cable to the device. You can then plug the other end into your computer. If you have a USB to AC adapter you can use that as well. The unit also comes with a USB to 12v car adapter for use in your vehicle.
Can a 12v dc 500mA adapter be substituted for a 12v dc 200mA ac adapter?
No.If it is AC output, it will blow out the power circuits of the DC device.If it is DC output, it doesn't have enough current capacity for the load of the DC device.If you want to power a DC device with a wall wart, make sure the wart is:DC outputCorrect polarity (some have reversible polarity)Exact same voltage as the deviceGreater than or equal to current rating of the device
Can you use a 12V 500mA switching adapter on device that originally required a 12V 2A?
Not for very long. If the device actually requires 2A in order to do its job, then the adapter ... which is only designed to deliver 0.5A or less ... will get warm, then overheat, and then fail. Possibly in as little as a few seconds.
Can you use 15V 4A adaptor for your laptop instead of 19V 3.42A?
No. The machine will notice that it isn't getting all the required voltage and won't run.
Can you use a 19 volt 4.5 amp ac adapter to substitute a 19v 4.74 amp adapter?
Yes these voltages are close enough to be interchangeable.
Can you use a 12V DC adapter for 5V DC device?
input voltage is strictly according to applications. If use 12V dc adapter power 5V dc device, the 5v dc device would be damaged.
Ac adapter is it ok to use lower voltage 19v 4.74a ac adapter has died. Can I use a spare I have in the mean time it's output is 12v and 5a?
not unless you want to fry your electronics
Hi can you use a power supply of 19V and 7A with a Laptop which require a 19V and 5A?
No. You have to have 19v and 5a
Can you use a 9v dc 1000ma adaptor for a device that has 'power input' of 15v dc 800ma?
A: Disregarding the fact of different voltages there is the power to be concerned 9v x 1A = 9W, 15V X .8 = 12W. THE DEVICE WILL BE UNDER POWER.
Can you use a 1A adapter instead of a 500mA adapter?
A one amp adapter is the same as a 1000 mA adapter. If your device requires 500 mA to operate then there is ample capacity in the adapter to operate a 500 mA device. Be sure to match the type of voltage AC or DC from the adapter to the driven device. Both have to be the same.
Can you use 9V 500mA adapter for 9v 700mA 6.3VA device?
yes, if the other adapter is a va
Can you use a 3.7v ac adapter for a digital camera that recommends a 4.3v adapter?
NO! It will fry your device. Use same V and possibly higher amp rated adapter.
Can you replace an AC Adapter of 19.5 V and 3.34 A with a 19.5 V and 4.62 A?
It sounds like you are referring to a universal adapter. A universal ac adaptor has several tips, which adjust the voltage and amperage, and the higher the voltage, the lower the amperage. Therefore, if your adapter is 4.3 amps at 15 volts, it will be significantly lower amperage at 19 volts.
Can you use a 3 amp adapter on 5 amp device?
NO
Can you use a device that requires 500mA on a 1000mA adapter?
Yes, no problem whatsoever as long as the voltages are the same. The adapter's capacity is 1000 mA and your device only requires 500 mA. The draw from the adapter is only at 50%.
