Default AC Adapter questions...


"Col.Phorbin" wrote in message

Is there a problem if I just use the AC adapter I have? Will it burn
out or anything since it doesn't match? I don't have any other
adapters and I can't find any that match perfectly. The best I found
was a 12 volt 2.5 amp adapter for 40 bucks! Is going over in amps a
problem?


No. it is like asking if a gallon jug is too big to put a quart into. It is
a question of capability versus requirement. The 2.4 amps is the capability.
You won't use more than your load requires so that you have extra unneeded
capacity. That is a good thing.
