Great job on teaching us about adapters! Thank you sensei!
Thankx
FYI
Some things that I've learned from some experiences:
1. If you don't have a caliper. Drill bits can be used to measure the plug size your trying to determine for purchase, if you know the size of your drill bits which is labeled in the bits storage box.
2. I've had success wiring in/connecting the DC stripped end of an old transformer to a traditional disposable battery device which as no plug for a transformer. Making the battery device, battery less for some items which needed it. Connected usually where the battery ends connect. Of course if the batteries were in series then the voltage is added all together. Often the DV voltage was a bit more than the batteries so the device runs a bit faster/stronger now which is often also nice. No longer wasting batteries and our environment and wasting your $$. I see thrift stores have old transformers for sale that could be used for this.
Examples I remember, come to mind:
Cat spinning in a circle under cloth chase toy, because cat would play for hours and hours and wear batteries out fast.
Fuzz Balls remover shaver, because it was too slow especially as the batteries got weaker and batteries didn't last long and I had a whole sofa to go over!
A table light display, because it was a cheap received xmas gift that was cute but we would never turn it on because in a few days the batteries were dead.
3. If the replacement transformer is recharging internal batteries in the device it's plugging into, you better make sure the new transformer is a perfect match and has any internal regulating electronics inside it. Also you don't want it to be overpowering and recharge the batteries too fast. This could all be a safety hazard with lithium batteries catching fire these days.
Take care
You make understanding power adapters clear and efficient. Great video!!

Awesome explanation, this was the kind of information that I was looking for. My congrats. You are the guy.
thank you so much, it really help me choosing my adapter after the old one got broken, really thank you
nice and clear explanation how to read them
Great vid, by far the best teacher I've ever had
Thanks, i'm guessing many folks wished they watched this before plugging in the wrong adapter and burning up their device.
One thing I would add; As you mentioned, using an adapter with more AMPERAGE than the device requires, will work without ruining the device. I have noticed however that if you use an adapter with too little amperage, while the device won't get ruined, the adapter may get extremely hot and potentially ruin the adapter.
Thank you so much! Your a god send! I’ve always had trouble understanding the labels on these things. I have so many of them.
It's great to know that you're enjoying the video Shadi

Your lesson has helped me tremendously, I must have 20 power supplies that I never thru out because I didn't know what they worked with. Now I can read them, and label them with a slip of paper and clear tape over it to keep from smearing. Thank you so much.
You welcome Day Sleeper. Happy this video helped. Glad u dropped by and watch this. Do subscribe to my channel (and perhaps even buy me a cup of coffee: beyond.photos/buyandrewcoffee)
Thank you and stay healthy and happy always.
Because adapters heat up in use, sticking your label on the adapter, it may come unstuck, Better to stick your label on the out put wire, both Adapter wire end and Device plug end
WOW. Learned me something new today! Thank you for this excellent vid. :)

Just brilliant information!! THANKS. I was wondering a couple of things though. I have a 1000A (10800mAh) charger/power bank. It has a 15V 10A dc Output jack port. What equipment could I use that for?

Great video.
You explain things so simply and clearly, great video, many thanks!
I just have one question please if I may. The power adapter for my NAS lists not one but two output voltages, 5V and 12V and it also says 'switching' adapter. What exactly does that mean?
My question too. I have an led light that shows 9v-16.8v. In the owners manual it lists 1a-2a. Something tells me if I plug in a 15v-2a, I will be very sorry.
Very informative video thanks pal 🙏
Excellent - thank you, great job
