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 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 a 9v dc 1000ma adaptor for a device that has 'power input' of 15v dc 800ma?

A: Disregarding the fact of different voltages there is the power to be concerned 9v x 1A = 9W, 15V X .8 = 12W. THE DEVICE WILL BE UNDER POWER.


Can I use a 12v 18 amp battery and connect to a circuit that asks for 12v Static current 6mA Can I use resistors to lower the amps on the 12v 18amp battery or can I just connect it up?

Just connect the circuit. It will only draw the amps it needs to operate. It is just like connecting a 100 watt light bulb that draws way less than 1 amp, to a 20 amp household circuit.


What is the increase of current when 15-volts is applied to 10000-ohms rheostat which is adjusted to 1000-ohms value?

To find the increase in current when 15 volts is applied to a 1000-ohm rheostat, we can use Ohm's Law, which states ( I = \frac{V}{R} ). With 15 volts applied and the resistance set to 1000 ohms, the current is ( I = \frac{15V}{1000\Omega} = 0.015A ) or 15 mA. If the rheostat was previously at a higher resistance (10,000 ohms), the current would have been ( I = \frac{15V}{10000\Omega} = 0.0015A ) or 1.5 mA. Thus, the increase in current is ( 15 mA - 1.5 mA = 13.5 mA ).


Can I connect a 12v 35 amp lead acid battery with my 600w computer ups to run my ceiling fan for 2 hours?

yes uou can use but you have to use external battery charger 13.5 v-15 v, 5 amp charger .

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 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.

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.
