You got it, Jay! You've provided very good direction on how to select and properly use an AC to DC adapter.👍👍👍 Depending on the application, you can definitely use a lower voltage adapter to power a device like a radio. I have a variable voltage device for testing radios; I've used it to power small radios at lower voltages than what the radios are rated. It doesn't work as well, but it does work in a pinch. If you have a device that needs full voltage to operate properly under load, then all bets are off. When you talk about how to calculate AC power, it will be necessary to think about that one a bit, since AC power calculations are different than DC power calculations. Thanks for this refresher/update and for your great tip about labeling the adapter. 😊
was wondering the same...and more. What is AcDc Switching adaptor...can the polarity be reversed simply by cutting wires and (for simplicity here) rewire to other wire... what if there is a label on adaptor/adapter with all information except polarity? BTW this is, content explained, by far the most informative and concise I found,with ZERO dspeculation or contradicting answers in the same video never mind the same sentence!! Firt Vid I have came across and I feel they are all to the point and not just click baiting. thanks Perry Fenton
Smart idea to label the Adapters! Never thought of doing that. Great info as always!
I love your videos and every one is a huge help to me
Super happy to have found this channel. Thank you for all the useful info you are providing!
Happy to help!

Thanks, DFJ! I have the same Brother label printer. I bought a DAddario PW-CT-9V to power mine. AT the time, it was less than half the cost of OEM.
CURIOUS = in the background in your SHOP ...
can I use PEX Water Pipe for pneumatic Shop AIR Supply lines ?
Thanks

If I use the wrong adapter, and the appliance no longer turns on, is the appliance fried, not repairable and now junk?
Is AC adapter the same as AC DC adapter
