As is the case with most folks, I suppose, I have an assortment of AC
adapters left over from a variety of now defunct electronic gizmos. The
adapters vary in terms of output voltage and current, but I'm wondering
if they can be used for other than the cell phone, radio, whatever they
were intended for, or are they now just items for the junkpile? I'd
guess that they can't be used for items that are rated for higher
voltage and current, but can they be used if the item's requirements
are less than, or close to, the rated output for the adapter?

Thanks.

Hi,
If you can match voltage, current, polarity of the plug, and lastly
watch the output whether it is AC or DC.
