Using a 12V 500mA power supply instead of a 12V 300mA power supply will likely be fine as long as the voltage matches, but the higher current capacity (500mA) means the power supply can deliver more current if needed by the device. The device will only draw the current it needs, so having a higher current capacity power supply should not cause any issues.

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 12v 600ma instead of 12v 500ma?

Using a 12v 600ma source is allowing 12 volts and 600 amps of power. If the device requires a 12v 500ma source, the larger source is acceptable. Please note that it will only be drawing on 500ma of the available 600ma.


Can i charge a 12v 7.2 battery with an out 12v-300mA charger?

Yes, you can charge a 12V 7.2Ah battery with a 12V 300mA charger, but it may take a long time to fully charge the battery due to the lower current output. The charger will provide a safe voltage for the battery, but the charging time could be significantly extended compared to a charger with a higher current output. Ensure the charger is compatible with the battery chemistry to avoid any damage.


Can a 12V 2A adapter be used for a 12V 500mA device?

The adapter's voltage must match that of the device, and its current-rating must exceed that of the device. So the answer is yes.


Can you use 12v 1000ma instead 12v 150ma?

12v 1000mA means that the maximum output of that unit is 1000 milliamps at 12 volts. 12v 150 mA means that the maximum output of that unit is 150 milliamps at 12 volts. So if you need 150 milliamps at 12v either will do. BUT if you need over 150 milliamps at 12v then you must go for the 1000 mA unit. By the way there are 1000 milliamps in 1 amp.


Can a 12v dc 500mA adapter be substituted for a 12v dc 200mA ac adapter?

No.If it is AC output, it will blow out the power circuits of the DC device.If it is DC output, it doesn't have enough current capacity for the load of the DC device.If you want to power a DC device with a wall wart, make sure the wart is:DC outputCorrect polarity (some have reversible polarity)Exact same voltage as the deviceGreater than or equal to current rating of the device


Will a universal ac adapter that says it is 1.5-12v up to 300ma be used to charge a portable DVD player that uses a 9 v1.5 a battery?

no


Can you use a 12v 500mA switching adapter going to a 12v 700mA security camera?

If the camera actually uses 700 mA in order to do its job, then the 500 mA adaptor will warm up, then overheat, and eventually fail.


If you need a 12v 3.0a ac adapter can i use a 12v 300ma?

No. Or at least not for long. 300 mA is 0.3 A, 1/10 of the 3 A you're asking for. It'll either overhat and break, or trip an internal fuse and shut down.


How many watts are in a 500 ma 12v dc?

In ideal conditions, about 6W Amps x volts = watts 500ma = 1/2 amp (1000ma to 1a) 0.5 X 12V = 6W


What is the difference between a 9v 300mA Adapter and a 12v 300mA Adapter?

difference is 2.7 amperes in numbers will be 12 volts 3 amps and the other will be 12 volts .3 amps


What type of product would a 12v Ac Adapter be used for?

A 12v AC adapter can be use to power devices that requires 12VDC and up to 500mA. It can also be use with electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power from the main power.
