Tools and Hardware Reviews of Power Line 0900-77A 1300-mA AC Adapter with USB Charging Port
Customer Review: Good product if configured correctly
Summary: 4 Stars
I tried this with several devices, different voltages, up to 900 mA, and they all worked fine.
To use an electronic device with any AC adapter not specifically designed for it, you have to know three requirements of your gear:
Voltage
Adapter must deliver the voltage required by your device. The wrong voltage can damage it.
Polarity
There is no standard for whether the tip or the barrel of the connector is positive. Usually, there's a diagram on the device that shows this. The wrong polarity will destroy it -- like putting batteries in backwards.
Current (mA)
This adapter will supply up-to 1300 milliamps (mA). If your device draws more than that the adapter will get hot, triggering a protective device that shuts it down. 1300 mA or lower, OK.
This isn't difficult, and most devices have these specs printed near the power jack, if not in the instructions. But if you don't know, please take the time to find out. Don't guess.
On the adapter, you select the voltage with a slide switch, tip polarity by the orientation of the tip when you attach it to the end of the adapter cable before you plug it into your device. Available voltages are 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12. The voltage switch also has a USB position which supplies 5v at 500 mA to the USB port, and disconnects the usual output cord.
The adapter's instructions are a single page that includes no less than five warnings you can damage your device if you don't configure the adapter correctly. It also has a table that shows how to determine voltage based on battery count, but I wouldn't rely on it because it assumes the batteries are connected in series. That's not always true, especially for high-current devices. For example, six 1.5v batteries could supply 3, 4.5, or 9 volts or, theoretically, 1.5v, depending on how they're connected; the table just says "9."
The polarity markings on the cable and plugs are molded into the plastic, black on black. They are necessarily small, and would be much easier to read, or even notice, if they had more contrast. That alone could save some people from damaging their gear.
Package says: "Not to be used with cell phones or as a battery charger.... USB port charges iPods, Treo, Palm, Blackberry, cell phones...."
Appears well made (China), good value for the price. UL and Energy Star listed, toll free tech support number, one-year warranty. Very simple video instructions at company web site, also on YouTube.
