Yes, it is absolutely safe to charge a device with a charger that has more current capacity than needed. Ohm's law tells us the relation between current, voltage, and resistance:

With $0.58A times 6V$, you only supply $approx 3.5W$ instead of $10W$.So without a MPPT controller you are losing $2/3$ of the available power.. It is optimal to charge a battery at 72 to 82 % of Voc which is open cell voltage. This operation matches the impedance of the PV cell to the Buck converter.
A batch of 60 XAIO ESP32C3''s will not power on using a 3.3V DC supply applied to pins 3V3 and GND. They only power on using a 5V input applied to pins 5V and GND. The test rig was a bench DC power supply. The XIAO ESP32C3 seems to power on as low as 4.1V DC applied to the 5V pin.
i agree with jason, running 6v thru a 5v device like that one is risky, some things (like incan light bulbs and motors) can take a lil over voltage with lil or no issue, but sensitive electronics (like the ones running on 5v in that laser) usually don''t like it. thats part of the control circuit and it may very well not react to well to the higher voltage. it won''t have any protection
Rather than recharging batteries all the time, I figured it would be more convenient to get one of those USB LiPo power-packs for phones, and charge that when needed. My question: Is anything bad going to happen if I hook up
This apparently ruined some feedback loop of the regulator, putting it in a locked-up state even though the steady-state power draw would be well supported by the power supply. Increasing the current limit of the power supply solved the problem. So I suspect the peak current rating of your USB battery bank. Check with another power source.
If your device only takes 6-6.5V then using a 7.5V supply could well destroy the circuitry in the device and make it unusable. If your device has a well specced power converter inside then you may be okay to use it but the device may not be getting the full amount of power necessary to, say, charge batteries at full power or even power up if it needs more current.
A power supply (what you''re calling the "charger") rated for 1A can only provide up to 1A and still operate within spec. If your phone tries to pull much more than that it will
6v battery is more like 7.2 charged. Take a look at 7805 ic. Or perhaps lower dropout version like lm2940ct-5.0.
No, amps do not have to match, but the power supply or charger must be able to supply enough amps as required by the device being powered or charged. In practical terms, that means the amperage rating of a power supply or charger
There is a spot to plug 5v DC power into; a hole with a pin in the middle - looks to be 3.5mm in size. In the manual it says it''s designed for 5v/100mA (same as USB output I
* Supports smart charging of either Lead Acid or Li-Ion battery charging up to 10A. * Supports power supply or direct solar panel (MPPT) battery charging for all battery chemistries. Solar panel VOC must be <= 30V. Either of these, or similar charger options would be the approach you want to take. Safe (for you and the battery) and effective.
Without the battery holder and its leads, it would be very difficult to allow for connection with the battery cell. So if we are charging a single ''AA'' battery, we need a single ''AA'' battery holder. If we are charging 2 ''AA'' batteries, we need
I''m dealing with a circuit board that requires 5V DC power and can draw as much as 2 amps. I want to be able to supply this power with a rechargeable battery pack
The first one drops 0.26v per diode on my 12v battery and 0.3v drop for the 2nd one. However, I conducted a no load test with these on the charger and the voltage rose! My ''13.5v'' rated power supply put out About 98v with the 1N5401 and about 20v with the other one. Why did it rise so much? Due to no load on the power supply? $endgroup$ –
Might as well try 4.5V first, no harm. it has to be built to handle 4.75v ok since a pc power supply is allowed to supply 5V that low and still be considered in spec, so 4.5V is hardly a stretch. get a 100mA load and measure the actual voltage from the brick using a multimeter. if its an unregulated power brick, while it says it may be 6V
I wonder if the battery is really 9.6volts Ni-MH. I need to know. Have you heard about 9 volts unregulated power supply charging a 9.6V Ni-MH battery (composed of eight 1.2V Ni-MH cells.) Can it charge? If I buy a 9.6V Ni
If the wall plug for the clock says it is a 5V power supply the pack will work since there is likely added circuitry around the power plug to get it down to the same voltage as the batteries. If the power supply for the clock says it is a 4.5V power supply 5V may not be with in the standard plus or minus 10% for electronics.
Microcontrollers will work up to 5.5v but some will freeze at 5.6v, so be careful. The automatic components turn off the 5v section so the battery can charge and store enough energy to operate a transmitter during the night hours, when it will be needed. Kits for 5v Solar Power Supply can be obtained from Talking Electronics:

Using an adjustable regulated supply I can run the device by supplying 4.25V at where the battery used to be (the battery indicator shows "full" at 4.2V and "low" at 3.6V) or from 3 AA batteries, however I would need a smaller wall-plugged
You can supply 3.6V to 5.5V if you do not have other Featherwing devices that require 5V on VUSB. Tracker SoM. The Tracker One includes the following power inputs on the module: VIN, 3.9V to 17V. Li+, 3.6V to 4.4V. Normally connected to a LiPo battery, but can also be used as a power supply input with certain restrictions, see above. VBUS, 5V.
If you have a 6V battery in your vehicle or device, it is always best to use a matching 6 volt charger to keep it topped off. Alternatively, you may use a charger that has a variable voltage
When charging a 6-volt battery with a 2 amp charger, it is important to monitor the charging process closely to avoid overcharging the battery. Can a 5V Charger Charge a 6V Battery . A five-volt charger can
Batteries can be charged manually with a power supply featuring user-adjustable voltage and current limiting. I stress manual because charging needs the know-how and can never be left unattended; charge termination is not automated.
The home garage answer is it depends. Assuming that both batteries are the same chemistry and the battery charger is made for that chemistry you are likely ok. When you say 6V battery there is a range there just like charging a car battery. It is called 12V but likely
20.5 unloaded. Was thinking I could series a 12V battery with the 6V battery. 13.8 float charge plus 6.9 float equals 20.7 volts. I know this little supply won''t manage that much voltage, but it''s closer to the 6.9 volts (plus the 13.8) than a 5 volt supply. Was inspecting the 6V SLA and noticed slight bulging on the bottom of the battery.
In addition, depending on what the device is and the capacity of the 12V supply, connecting a 12V supply to a device rated 5V max could lead to a hazard – fire, explosion, etc. Can I charge 6V battery with 5V charger? To charge a 6 V lead acid battery requires 6.9 to 7.1 V. 5 V will just not work. Can I use 5V instead of 3V?
USB Lithium Battery Charging Protection Board Type-C 5V 2A Boost Converter Basic parameters Input voltage range: 5-5.5V Charging cut-off voltage: (4.2V/4.35V)
Most of the 12v usb type chargers use a regulator that just scrubs off voltage rather than stepping it down so as long as you have over 5v you should be good. You did notice that the power supply you linked will work from 12v to 8v. Wouldn''t shock me if it would also work on a 6v bike but would try the cheaper stuff first.
Now I have a 5V-2A DC adapter and a 6V-4.5Ah rechargeable battery. The battery is discharged and can only supply 2-3V now. Charge the battery while power is available. The Pi can run off the battery while it is
It''s not recommended, but might be ok. 7.4V Lithium batteries actually span a 6V to 8.4v voltage range depending on state of charge of the battery. So you''re putting 9V into a
Is it OK to use a power supply with higher amps? Thus, as long as you replace your power supply with one capable of providing as much or more amps than the previous, you''ll be fine. Can I
Before charging a 12V battery with a power supply, it is essential to identify the battery type. Two common types of 12V batteries are lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The voltage should be set to the battery''s nominal voltage, which is typically around 3.6V per cell, and the current should be set to the battery''s recommended
Yes you can use a battery charger as a power supply. A battery charger is effectively a power supply. (Type B) like ones used for portable power tools (where the battery can be removed), has the charging circuit
You wouldn''t want to directly charge a 3.7V battery with USB power. You''ll need a charging circuit of some form. That''s why I use small USB power banks with a 3.7V 18650 battery inside. If you are looking for a small form factor, then I''d charge the 3.7V lithium battery separately.
My HP Pavilion''s battery charging requires a wall wort that delivers 19.5 VDC and is capable of 3.33A, but what would happen if I supply it with 20VDC and up to 5.4A (from a 13.6V when full to 12.8V when 80%
Yes. Because a) the voltage matches, and b) the amperage provided is greater than that needed, you can use a 5v-2A charger with a 5V-1A device. Is 500ma the same as 0.5 A? Yes. 500ma (or milliamps) is the same as one half, or 0.5, amps. A milliamp is just 1/1000th of an amp, meaning that there are 1000 milliamps to an amp.
As long as the voltage matches that expected by the connected device, then yes, you can use an AC adapter capable of providing higher amps. Can I use a 5V 2A charger with a 5V 1A device?
So if I plug a 3.5A 5V USB charger into my iPhone (which comes with a 5V 1A charger - but Apple say can work with a 2A 5V iPad charger) - this will not damage the iPhone, right? @niico correct - the iPhone will only draw the amount of current it needs (1 amp in the case of an iPhone).
4.5V will work for many USB devices, I know from experience. Webcam (power/data), GPS (power), phone (power/data) & iPod (power/data) to name a few. I have a DC step-down converter on my bike and chose 4.5V when faced with the same choice. choose 6v and add in a diode to drop it down 0.7v. 5.3V will be ok.
Device works. Device works. The amperage rating of a charger or power supply is the maximum it can supply. A device being charged will only take as much amperage as it requires. If your device needs 0.5 amps to charge, and your charger is rated at 1.0 amps, only 0.5 amps will be used.
meh, your device will probably run just fine because most mp3 players can support usage while charging because 5v is running through the battery and the system takes power from the battery while charging so the voltage would be around 5v as well. im no genius in electricity but i think your little experiment worth a try.
