I don't want to fry my security monitor, but I want to hook up a 12V
4.5A rechargeable battery to it. Since the monitor on the back says
"12V 3amp", would the monitor fry or would it just take what it needs
and be ok with this amperage?

Thanks


In this case the question should be:
"how long can I use the monitor before I have to recharge the
battery?"


A little over an hour.Maybe more if you are lucky.
