I got a portable radio w/ rechargeable battery that didn't come with the

Will it damage the battery or radio?
Thanks


You need the same voltage, same voltage type (DC vs. AC) and at least as much
current. Having an adapter that can do more than 200ma is a good thing.


I hate it when I accidentally hook up an AC charger to a DC battery.
