In general no, it might do some damage to both the equipment and the power supply. In certain specific cases it might be all right if you are able to measure the current to make sure it is 500 mA or less, and you can also ensure that the appliance can withstand 15 v.

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 12v 750ma insteads of 12v 2A adaptor?

Probably not. The other way around would be fine: a device that only needs 750mA will work fine on a 2A power supply, but one that needs 2A will NOT work on only 750mA, which is less than half the current required.


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 I run 12v dc led lights with 15v dc?

Running 12V DC LED lights with 15V DC is generally not recommended, as the higher voltage can lead to overheating, reduced lifespan, or even damage to the LEDs. Most 12V LED lights are designed to operate within a specific voltage range, and exceeding that can cause them to draw more current than they are rated for. If you must use a 15V supply, consider using a voltage regulator or a buck converter to step down the voltage to a safe level for the LEDs.


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 5V 1A power supply on 5V 750mA?

Yes.


Can you use 15v instead of 12.5v in creative speaker?

Almost certainly.


Can you use 750mA output charger that calls for 1000mA?

Yes - it will just take a little longer to charge the device.


Can I use a 15v ac 500 mA charger instead of a 15v ac 600 mA charger?

Yes you can. It will just take a little longer to complete the charge cycle.


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 a 300ma power supply in place of a 400ma supply?

Yes, you can use a 300mA power supply in place of a 400mA supply, but it may not provide enough current for the device to operate properly. If the device requires 400mA and only receives 300mA, it may underperform, malfunction, or even be damaged due to insufficient power. It's important to ensure that the power supply meets or exceeds the current requirements of the device for safe and effective operation.


Can you use a universal ac adaptor set at 9v 400mA for a portable radio set at 9v 800mA?

No. Your portable radio needs 800mA to operate. Your adapter can only produce 400mA. If you make the connection the adapter will rapidly heat up and probably burn out.
