Can I use a 12v 2a adapter to a 12v 1a router?

Can I use a 12v 2a adapter to a 12v 1a router?

You can safely use an adapter with the same output voltage, and a current (A/mA) rating equal or higher than the original. If you use one with significantly more voltage (and 12v is a full third more than 9v) then you might burn out your device.

Is it OK to use a lower amp power supply?

We recommend higher amperage to ensure cooler power supply and optimal charge time. If you get a charger with amperage less than your original power supply, you risk overheating your charger, burning it and in many case your device will stop functioning and/or charging.

How do you convert 12V to 5V?

We have 3 ways to do.

  1. Connecting 7805 in parallel.
  2. 12V battery to 5V 1.5A DC converter.
  3. Higher current transistor for 7805 Regulator.
  4. 2A transistor Regulator.

Can I use a 4.5 V adapter to power a 5V device?

They’re very stable on the output voltage and can kick out an amp or so. It’ll work fine.

What does 5V 2A mean?

DC 5V/2A, means that the input voltage, to recharge the battery is 5 volts of direct current. 2A is the amount of amperage that is suggested to recharge the battery.

Can a 12V power adapter be used on a 1.5A device?

The device 12 V 1.5 A, means that it wants a fixed 12 V and at most, will use 1.5 Amps current flow when running with 12 V. Since 1.5 is less than 3 and 12 = 12 then you should be OK. Adapter because your load device has a resistance rating that draws 1.5 amps.

Can a 12 volt power supply be used?

Most likely, yes. If your device requires 12 volt and draws 1 Amp of current, a 12 volt power supply will give the required voltage and will be able to supply the 1 amp of current it needs to run. A power supply that supplies a little more voltage might also work but depending on the device may cause the device to fail sooner.

Can a 6 volt power supply draw 300 Ma?

Yes. Power supplies are rated for the amount of current they can supply at a given voltage. If your device is rated for 300 mA at 6 volts, it will only draw 300 mA from the 1 amp of supply current available. Technically you could power three of these devices from the same 1 amp power supply: .3A + .3A + .3A =. 9 A or close enough to 1 amp.

Can a 2 amp power supply be used with a 5 Amp Supply?

Yes – the amperage rating on a power supply denotes the maximum output current that it can supply at the rated voltage. Drawing less than the rated amount of current (i.e. a 2 amp device with a 5 amp supply) will not damage the supply or the device being powered.
