generally yes. if the voltage is the same. the current however may effect the device if the current is greater then the main device's listed current.
For example
if you try to use a 20v 3.42A power supply instead an individual laptops power supply rated at a 19v 2.5A the life of the device will be shorted by a lot. as they have sensitive circuits.
I have fried a motherboard's power distribution sector by doing this.
but i had a backup laptop of the same make/model so it didn't bother me.
it lasted about 6 months after i initially/deliberately used the other power supply.
if its a small difference the life span wont be drastically effected.
if the power supply has too little current it will need to work harder shortening the power supplies life span.
using the correct power supply will save a lot of time and hassle.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use 500ma charger for 400ma device?
Yes, you can use a 500mA charger for a 400mA device. The device will only draw the amount of current it needs (400mA) from the charger, so there is no risk of overloading it. However, ensure that the voltage of the charger matches the device's requirements to avoid potential damage.
Can you use 5.8 volt charger on 5.2 volt device?
It is generally not recommended to use a charger with a higher voltage than the device's specified input. Using a 5.8V charger on a 5.2V device may potentially damage the device or reduce its lifespan due to overvoltage. It is safer to use a charger that matches the device's recommended voltage input.
Can you use a charger not intended for a another?
Using a charger not intended for your device can be risky. While some chargers may be compatible in terms of voltage and amperage, using an incorrect charger can lead to overheating, reduced battery life, or even damage to the device. It's best to use the manufacturer's recommended charger to ensure safety and optimal performance. Always check the specifications before using a different charger.
Can you use another charger to charge ipod?
YES! you can only use an IPAD charger or other Ipod DEVICE!
Can you use a lower watt charger for a high watt?
It is not recommended to use a lower watt charger for a high watt device as it may not provide enough power for efficient charging and could potentially damage the device or charger. It is best to use a charger that matches the wattage requirements of the device to ensure safe and optimal charging.
Can you use a 6 DC 100 MA charger for a device requiring 5 DC 100 MA?
Well, yes and no. If you do use it, the device may work after a fashion, but probably not correctly. Using a higher voltage charger will eventually burn your device up. How long you can use it with the overcharged charger, depends on how well the device is made and how much tolerance the engineers built into it.
Does the type of charger you use matter for having a good battery life?
Yes, the type of charger affects the battery life of your device; using a charger not recommended by your manufacturer ruins the battery life of your device.
Can I replace a 600mA charger with a 500 mA charger?
You can use a 500 mA charger to replace a 600 mA charger, but it may not provide enough current for your device, leading to slower charging or potential malfunction. If the device requires 600 mA, it’s best to use a charger that meets or exceeds that specification. Using a lower-rated charger could also result in overheating or damage over time. Ensure to check the device's power requirements for optimal performance.
How do you fix a broken nexus 7 charger?
There's no real fix to the Nexus 7 charger, but you can use a standard micro USB charger, or a wireless charger (Qi standard) to recharge the device.
Can you use 2 amp charger to charge a 3 amp device?
Yes, you can use a 2 amp charger to charge a 3 amp device, but the charging process may be slower than if you used a 3 amp charger. It's generally safe to use a lower amp charger, but it may not provide optimal charging speed for your device.
Can you use a DSi charger to charge your DS lite?
No, the DSi charger is different than the DS lite charger
What is an alternative to a Motorola razr charger?
one could use a charger from any other Motorola/blackberry/PALM device with a usb charger(the one on the razr).... be aware that using certain palm chargers will cause a message to appear on the screen during the charge saying somthing like " not a registered charger" or "not compatible with device".. if so, that charger will not work...
