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 1000mA on a device that requires 600mA?

yes this will work fine


Can you use a 12v 500mA for a 12v 150mA?

Yes. If you have a device rated at 12 Volts and 150 milliamps, you can use any power supply that will deliver at least 150 milliamps at 12 Volts. The important item is to keep the 12 volts at 12 volts. Even if you had a power supply that delivered 2000 amps at 12 volts you would be OK as it will only draw the 150ma that it needs.

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)

You can - but it will take longer for the phone to charge.


Can you use 12v 600ma instead of 12v 500ma?

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.


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.
