Yes, you can use a 300mA adapter on a 1A device, but it may not work properly or could damage the adapter. The device may draw more current than the adapter can provide, leading to insufficient power, potential overheating, or failure of the adapter. It's always best to use an adapter that meets or exceeds the device's current requirements for optimal performance and safety.

Can you use a 12 VDC 2A adaptor on a 12 VDC 1A device?

Yes, there will be no problem with this adapter. The 1 amp device will only be drawing half of what the adapter can produce.


Is it ok to use a 5v 1A AC adapter for a device when the original adapter is supposed to be 5V 500mA - will it damage the device?

Yes - what matters is the voltage - it has to be the same. The device will only draws 1A as needed - the adaptor with higher amp,i.e, 2A is fine. As long as the adaptor has amps equal to or greater than those of the device, it will be ok!


Can you replace 12v 1a adaptor used on device of 12v 700ma?

No, the new adapter will not be able to safely supply enough current.


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.


What is the compatibility of the wu 1a with my device?

The compatibility of the Wu 1a with your device depends on whether your device supports the Wu 1a's wireless capabilities. You may need to check the specifications of your device to determine if it is compatible with the Wu 1a.


Can you use a 12v 1a adaptor for a 800ma?

Yes, 1 amp is equal to 1000ma and it will be able to operate a 850 ma device.


Can you use a 12v dc 1A powerpack on a device that required a 12 dc 700mA?

Yes, the device will only use whatever amps it needs.


Can you use 12V 1.5A for 7.5V 1A?

No, it is not safe to use a higher voltage power supply (12V) for a device that requires a lower voltage (7.5V). This can damage the device and potentially cause a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a power supply that matches the required voltage (7.5V) and current (1A) specifications of the device.


Can use 1A power pack for 500mA device?

Yes, you can use a 1A power pack for a 500mA device. The power pack will supply the necessary 500mA the device requires, with some extra capacity. Ensure that the voltage output matches the device's requirement to avoid any potential damage.


Can you use a 9V 600MA to replace a 9V 1A?

Using a 9V 600mA power supply to replace a 9V 1A power supply may not provide enough current to power the device properly. It is important to match the voltage and exceed the current requirements of the device to avoid damage or malfunction.


Can I use 12V 1A adapter for a 12V 0.16A device?

I wouldn't recommend it ! If the device needs to draw more current than is available - the adapter could overheat, posing a fire risk.


Can you use a 12v dc 1a power supply on device that requires 12v dc 3200ma?

No, the 1A power supply does not provide enough current (3200mA required) for the device to operate properly. You need a power supply that can deliver at least 3200mA to meet the device's power requirements. Using an underpowered supply may result in the device not functioning correctly or potential damage.
