Yes, you can use an 8 amp charger on a 6 amp unit, as the charger will only supply the amount of current that the unit requires. However, it's important to ensure that the voltage is compatible and that the unit can handle the charger without overheating or causing damage. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility and safety.

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.


How many amps does a fence charger pull?

A typical fence charger pulls between 0.1 to 1 amp, depending on the size and power of the unit. Low-powered models may use around 0.1 to 0.5 amps, while more powerful chargers can draw up to 1 amp or slightly more. The exact amperage can vary based on the charger’s design and its intended use, such as for livestock or wildlife fencing. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise information.


Is a 2 amp battery charger the same as a 1 amp battery charger?

No, a 2 amp battery charger has a higher charging capacity than a 1 amp battery charger. This means the 2 amp charger can charge a battery faster than the 1 amp charger. It's important to use the appropriate charger to avoid damaging the battery.


How do I figure the amp draw of a unit that is rated max 590 watts at 120 volts?

To find the amp draw, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 590 watts divided by 120 volts equals approximately 4.92 amps. Therefore, the unit draws around 4.92 amps when operating at its maximum power of 590 watts.


What size breaker should you use for a unit that draws 58 running amps?

To determine the correct size breaker, you need to ensure that it is rated higher than the running amps of the unit. For a unit drawing 58 running amps, a breaker that is rated for at least 70 amps would be appropriate to provide a safety margin and prevent tripping due to overload.

Can you use a 12 amp charger to charge 6 amp battery?

You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 6 AMP charger. The amount of amps put out by the charger is actually the rate which the power flows out from the charger, not the amount of volts it will charge. Volts and Amps are two different things. You can't charge up a 12 volt battery all the way, using a 6 volt charger. You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 12 volt charger rated at '6 amps'. It will charge the battery faster than a 2 amp charger will, but it will take longer than using a 12 amp charger. You probably don't want to use anything higher than a 12-16 amp charger for charging a 12 volt battery. Some chargers are equipped with a 60amp boost charge that is used for starting the vehicle, without having much of a charge in the battery. You DO NOT want to attempt charging a battery with it set to a 60amp boost charge. That is for starting vehicles only and could damage your battery. Keep in mind that the lower the amps are, that you use to charge the battery (1-2amps), will result in the charge lasting longer without recharging it, than if it was charged up at a higher setting (12-16amps).

Can i use a home charger that has 3to 12V300mA output to charge my car battery at home?

No. The charger for a car battery has an output measured in amps. You have an output measured in milliamps. There are 1000 milliamps to 1 amp. Way too small.

What size breaker should you use for a unit that draws 75 amps?

Depending upon what type of "unit", you would want at least an 85-amp breaker, and the next standard size would be 90 amps. You might use an 80, depending upon the duty cycle of the unit, but the 90 will be required for constant use.

Can you charge an ATV battery with a car charger?

No because an ATV battery only can take 2 amps and a car charger pushes out 6 to ten But you can use a float charger there perfectly safe. it depends on your charger. most chargers have several amp settings to choose from. mine has settings for 2, 10, 25, 40, and 200 amps for jump starting. as long as you make sure the volts, 6 or 12, are right it will charge it.


Can a 350mA charger be exchanged for a 800mA battery charger?

Yes, a 800mA charger can be used in place of a 350 mA charger. The number represents the maximum amount of current that the charger is designed to produce. The main thing to look for is that the output voltages are the same rating in both chargers.


When charging an MP3 player it calls for 5V 2.5 amps can you use a 6V 4 amp charger?

Usually yes, but it will void the warranty, and is kind of dangerous, although I have successfully powered a 12 Volt memorex radio with a 22 volt Roomba fast charger.


Can your 5 volt 0.5 amp blackberry charger charge your TomTom GPS which seems to need 5 volt 2 amp?

I'm just making an educated guess but you should be able to charge the device if it is turned off. If it is turned on when attached to the 0.5 amp blackberry charger it will probably not be able to charge and power the device at the same time. My guess is it will eventually turn off because the load to run the Tom-Tom is higher than the 0.5 amp delivery. I know of a similar situation with the HTC Kaiser when GPS is enabled where the unit eventually drained all the power even when connected to a car charger that was under 1.5 amps.
