Can I use a 6V adapter to power a 5V device?

Can you use a 6V adapter for 5V device

Can I use a 6V adapter to power a 5V device If you use 6v adapter for a 5v device than it may damage. I f that device is sensitive then it will damage soon ange if the device is not so sensitive even though damages but it may take time. You can drop the voltage from 6volts to the 5volts.

Is 6V too much for 5V

yes, 6V is enough to trigger a circuit inside the PI that will short the 5V input, in order to save the 5V logic, which will otherwise be damaged. the shorting will then blow the PI's fuse!

Will 5V work with 6V

Most of the times it won't. Cannot tell for sure without checking the internal hardware of the repeater. But if it works without generating heat it will be fine as far as I know. The 5V adapter might generate more heat than the 6V as sometimes the lower voltage will increase the current draw.

What happens if I use a 12V adapter on a 5V device

You cannot use a 12V power supply on a 5V. It will cause the device to draw more current than it is designed for and will likely burn out, causing fire hazards and explosions. In other words, if the applied voltage is more than the maximum rated voltage then the device will undoubtedly fail due to overvoltage.

Can I use a 7.5 V adapter for a 5V device

1 Answer. You should never use a significantly higher voltage rating adaptor on any kind of electrical device. If you do so you are risking damaging the equipment and anything else that you might have plugged into it.

Is 5V to 12V converter safe

Yes, DC/DC step-up (boost) converters are safe. You'll need to look at current, efficiency and noise.

Can I use 9V adapter for 5V device

Simply No. Your device will probably be burnt. You will have to step down the voltage using a DC to DC converter or by using a specific resistor.

Can I use a 7.5 v adapter for a 5V device

1 Answer. You should never use a significantly higher voltage rating adaptor on any kind of electrical device. If you do so you are risking damaging the equipment and anything else that you might have plugged into it.

Can I use 12V 2A for 5V 2A

No, You can use a 12V 2A Adapter with a higher current rating, but not one with a lower current rating. The device draws only the current it needs, but the power supply must be able to output the maximum current that the device requires.

Can I use a 12V power supply on a 5V device

Long story short, you should avoid using a 12V power supply on a 5V device. Unless there is a protective measure in the device to tackle the resultant surge of current, it is best to avoid using a higher voltage than the maximum rated voltage.

What will happen if I use a 5V 1A charger to charge a 5V 2A device

Using the 5V 1A charger to operate a device that is normally charged with a 5V 2A charger is a bad idea. The smaller rated 1A charger is likely to overheat when used in this manner. In the worst case it could even catch fire so don't do this.
