About this deal

Remember: the input of the device should be the same as the output of the adapter. This includes polarity. If the device has a DC input of +12V / 5.4A, get an adapter with a DC output of +12V / 5.4A. If you have a universal adapter, ensure it has the proper current rating and choose the correct voltage and polarity. Fudging It: What Happens if You Use the Wrong Adapter? But next week I have a device coming that also has a US 2 pin plug but is rated much lower than a set of hair straighteners, rated at 5v/2a. I am using unsupported plugs and cables, which seems more likely. However, both chargers are rated for above 65W, which is why I don't understand why the don't work. Futhermore, the USB C cable is rated for 100W.

I am asking because on other forums, I learnt (I didn’t know) that Super Nintendos and Sega Genesis models 1 and 2 have internal voltage-current regulators which convert all power to 5V, despite the incoming power; that they could handle voltages from 3V up to 15V adaptors! My original AC Adapter for my Sega Genesis model 2 (10V 0.85A DC), so I found among my junk box (yeah, we all have one, right? Lol) a replacement (9V 0.2A DC). That said and considering the info perfectly explained on this post, I want to know if this new adaptor will harm my console? You go to the store for a replacement supply, and they have two kinds of 20 volt power supplies, a 65 Watt and a 90 Watt. (Which is actually the case at my local computer shop, NCIX, except they’re 19 volts. But 20 makes for simpler math.) Which one should you choose?If you assume that the device has no indication whatsoever of input voltage, current, or polarity, how is it possible to find an adapter which will make it work without trial and error which could also be called trial and fryer? In practice solid chargers support multiple Voltages with Amps that make sense, the device its connected to simply tells the charger which it accepts.

Current too high – If the adapter has the correct voltage, but the current is greater than what the device input requires, you shouldn’t see any problems. For example, if you have a laptop that calls for a 19V / 5A DC input, but you use a 19V / 8A DC adapter, your laptop will still get the 19V voltage it requires, but it will only draw 5A of current. As far as current goes, the device calls the shots, and the adapter will have to do less work. One minute, I get a slow charger warning. The next minute, it stays stable, not loosing charge, but not gaining charge either. You might find both the voltage and the current elsewhere on the device, on the bottom or inside a battery compartment cover, or in the manual. Again, look for the polarity by either noting a + or – symbol or the polarity diagram. The Speaker simply started giving the audio. But i found that the output of the woofer was like around 90% to my satisfaction than when it was working on the original Creative Adaptor.Besides the Adaptor is getting heated up. A movie is like for 2 to 3 hours Max and it works without any problems . One more thing which i found out was that the adaptor was getting heated up even when the speaker was not switched ON.I since found out that as well as having a plug that converted US to UK, it should also have had voltage step down capability, so we bought one of the right type and all was well. Also, under the “current too high” section above, it explains that it’s OK if your power supply is rated for MORE current (amps) than the device needs; the device will only draw the current it actually needs. But it’s not good to use a supply rated for less current. Each AC/DC power adapter is specifically designed to accept a certain AC input (usually the standard output from a 120 V AC outlet in your home) and convert it to a particular DC output. Likewise, each electronic device is specifically designed to accept a certain DC input. The key is to match the DC output of the adapter to the DC input of your device. Determining the outputs and inputs of your adapters and devices is the hard part. I do however have a question based on some experience a few years ago about a device that I have coming soon.
