My understanding is that too low is no big deal. Too high can "boil" the
moisture out of the batteries.

Where did you learn this wisdom? If I'm wrong, I'd sure like to get the
correct facts.

you can cause a fire if it's too low. there is no danger if it's too high.
see if you can google for the manual or specs on it.

you're mistaking what it can provide vs what it is asked to provide by the
load placed upon it.

if a charging circuit attempts to draw too much current from the
transformer, and the transformer has no over temp or over draw circuitry (i
haven't seen a transformer ever have a fuse), then the transformer will
overheat.

the transformer doesn't provide 600ma all the time; that's just how much CAN
be drawn out safely. drawing less is not a problem. attempting to draw out
700ma out of a 600ma transformer will cause a fire eventually.

if the load only needs 300ma, then you could provide a transformer that CAN
provide 10amp (which would be pretty big), but the load will only pull what
it needs, which would be 300ma, which would be safe.

Ahah! Now for the second part of that question ... Adequate amps but
slightly under the 12 vdc .... say 1.0 Amp and 10 vollts out on the
transformer???
