I wouldn't recommend it ! If the device needs to draw more current than is available - the adapter could overheat, posing a fire risk.

What if you use a 12V 1.5mA power adapter in place of 12V 1.2 mA one?
It will take longer to charge the device
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.
Can you use a 12v 1500ma switching adapter on a device requiring 12v 3.0A?
No, if your device require 3.0A, 1500ma adapter which is 1.5A is not enough, voltage wise is fine, your adapter adapter will get warm, then overheat, then very likely fail.
Can you plug in pest control into a 12V battery?
In order to use the "plug in" pest control with a 12V battery, the device would have to have power requirements less than or equal to that which a 12V battery can provide. The pest control would also need an adapter to use the 12V battery.
Can you use a 12v power adapter when device requires 6v?
No, twice the voltage applied to a device that only requires 6 volts will probably destroy the device. When a manufacturer of equipment states a required voltage for a device that is the voltage that must be used.
Can 9V 1A adapter be used for 12V 1A speakers?
No. If it works at all, it will be underpowered, and possibly damage the speakers. To power 12V speakers, you have to have an adapter with EXACTLY 12V (no more, no less), and at least 1A. You could hook up a 12V 4A adapter if you wanted to, your speakers would just only draw 1A of power. Make sure you use a 12V adapter though!!
What 12v adapter do you use for dual voltage TV?
use the one that came with your tv
Can you use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter - wattage is the same?
no
Can you use a 9v dc 210mA adapter on a 12v dc 150mA device?
No, if the device requires 12 VDC then no substitute adapter of a different voltage will work.
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 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 13v 2.77 amp ac adapter in place of a 12v 3.0 amp ac adapter?
Possibly, but not if you want to invalidate the warranty to your appliance.
