Not sure if I'm in the right place or not so try and go easy on the trolling.
Just dropped and broke my dads IHome charger which he is in love with. I found an old HP charger that fits and works fine but i'm worried about the specs. I think it may be waaay too powerful and might fry the thing. I am not very familiar with electronics and inputs/outputs so I was hoping someone could help me out here.
Here are the specs
Original iHome Charger
INPUT: 100-240VAC
50-60 Hz
450mA
OUTPUT: 9v
2000mA
HP Charger
INPUT: 100-240V
50-60 Hz
82-111VA
OUTPUT: 18V
2.23A
The output voltage is what scares me, amperage is basically the same. Again i'm not very familiar with this and was hoping someone could explain the jist of it to me. I'd be very grateful for the knowledge
Thanks
