Using a 12v 600ma source is allowing 12 volts and 600 amps of power. If the device requires a 12v 500ma source, the larger source is acceptable. Please note that it will only be drawing on 500ma of the available 600ma.

What will happen if use a 12v 400ma instead of 12v 500ma?
i am not sure, BUT according to the answer in this post:Can_you_use_a_9V_600mA_adapter_on_a_9V_400ma_scanneryou need an adaptor of 9v and AT LEAST 500mA (assuming that the appliance draws 500mA)
Can you use a 12v 500mA switching adapter going to a 12v 700mA security camera?
If the camera actually uses 700 mA in order to do its job, then the 500 mA adaptor will warm up, then overheat, and eventually fail.
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 12ah battery instead of a 12v 8ah battery?
The Ah (amp hour) rating of a battery is a measure of it's capacity. A 33Ah battery, when fully charged, will deliver 33 amps for one hour, or 11 amps for 3 hours, etc.A 7 Ah battery will only last about 20% as long as a 33Ah battery.
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 a 12v 1000mA on a device that requires 600mA?
yes this will work fine
Can you use a 9V 600mA adapter on a 9V 400ma scanner?
You can use any 9v adapter as long as the output amperage is rated higher than the amperage rating of your appliance so yes a 600ma adapter can be used to power a 500ma or 400ma appliance
Can you use 12v 1000ma instead 12v 150ma?
12v 1000mA means that the maximum output of that unit is 1000 milliamps at 12 volts. 12v 150 mA means that the maximum output of that unit is 150 milliamps at 12 volts. So if you need 150 milliamps at 12v either will do. BUT if you need over 150 milliamps at 12v then you must go for the 1000 mA unit. By the way there are 1000 milliamps in 1 amp.
Can you use a 12v 500mA switching adapter going to a 12v 700mA security camera?
If the camera actually uses 700 mA in order to do its job, then the 500 mA adaptor will warm up, then overheat, and eventually fail.
What type of product would a 12v Ac Adapter be used for?
A 12v AC adapter can be use to power devices that requires 12VDC and up to 500mA. It can also be use with electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power from the main power.
Can you use a 12VCD 500mA instead of a7.5V 800mA AC power adapter?
Yes you can. But it may damage your computers power supply.
Is it safe to use a 1500ma instead of 500ma battery?
As long as the batteries are putting out the exact same voltage, then yes you can use a battery with a higher ma rating.
Can a12v 800ma adapt be used in place of a 12v 500ma adapt?
For power supplies, if the voltage is the same, the rated amperage is equal to or greater than the requirements of the device, and the plug fits, the supply is safe to use.
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
Is it safe to use a 5v 1200ma router power adapter instead 9v 600ma adapter the original one for a longer period because everything works fine for now?
no .never
Can you use a 10v phone charger instead of using a 12v charger?
You can - but it will take longer for the phone to charge.
