: Does Amps supplied matters?

173 views

So I have this portable electronic device with a rating of 1.5 Amps over 12V. If I supply it 2 Amps over 12 V, would it be damaged? Should I instead supply it with 1 Amp over 12V?

Thank you.

Everything below depends on voltage being correct.
Never mix different voltages.

A power supply can provide a set amount of power.

A device determines how much power is drawn.

If you overload a power supply, then it will overheat and break, and highly likely be a fire hazard.

You can use the biggest power supply in the world to run a single led diode with no issue.
