You most definitely can. Not only can you use it to charge a 500mA mobile but any mobile that draws a maximum of 2A current, the voltage requirement being 5V of course. That is what the 2A charger is made for. It can supply a maximum of 2A current.
Can I use a 1A charger for a 500mA device?
Yes you can. The safety of your device depends on the voltage rating of the charger’s output. 5 and 5.2 don’t make much difference. The Amperes decide the current flowing into your device per unit time from the charger.
Can I charge my phone with 2A charger?
It is perfectly safe to plug a device that draws 1A into the 2A port and vice versa. Amperes are a measure of current capacity.The current draw (Amperes) is controlled by the device you plug in. So if you plug a 1A device into a 2A charger, it will still only draw 1A.
Can I use 1A charger instead of 550 ma?
Yes, it is absolutely safe to charge a device with a charger that has more current capacity than needed.
Is it OK to use a higher amp charger?
We recommend higher amperage to ensure cooler power supply and optimal charge time. If you get a charger with amperage less than your original power supply, you risk overheating your charger, burning it and in many case your device will stop functioning and/or charging.

Originally Answered: Can I use a 5V 2A charger for a 5v 500mA mobile? You most definitely can. Not only can you use it to charge a 500mA mobile but any mobile that draws a maximum of 2A current, the voltage requirement being 5V of course. That is what the 2A charger is made for.
Can I use 1000ma instead of 500mA?
If the device requests 500ma and the power supply can handle up to 1000ma, it’s fine. The device will only draw what it needs and no more. If the device demands more ma than the power supply can deliver, it will force the power supply to deliver it anyway thus frying the power supply.
Can I use 2A charger instead of 3A?
No,It doesn’t affect the battery or phone. you can use 3A charger instead of 2A if that’s what you’ve got. smartphones takes only the power it needs or handles upto. so you wont see any difference between 3A charger and 2A charger if your phone can support upto 5V 2A charging.
Can I use 2A charger for 1.5 a device?
Can you use a 2A charger for a 1.5A device? – Quora. Yes, as long as you are not trying to charge a 1.5ah battery.. The supply will handle 2.0 amps and the device will only draw what it needs.
Can I use a 5V 4A charger with a 5V 2A device?
You can’t use 5v/4A charger instead of 5V/2A charger because in 5V/4A charger has double current specifications than 5V/2A charger.
Can I use 300mA instead of 500mA?
Since 300mA is less than 500mA you should be fine. It will work, as long as the voltage is correct. The power adapter’s nominal power is 500mA so it will work at a lower cycle (60%) than its full power.
What happens if the amps are too high?
Amperage Provided versus Amperage Required
Device may fail, may run or charge slowly, power supply may overheat, may damage the device being charged — all depending on the magnitude of the difference. The amperage provided by your charger must match or exceed what the device being charged requires.
What happens when use a 5V 2A rated power adapter for a device rated 5V 1A?
What happens when use a 5v 2a rated power adapter for a device rated 5v 1a? The adapter works perfectly if the rated value is stated on it. If you use 5V 2A for the use of 5V 1A, it will work. There will be a dip in the output voltage if you operate a load of 2.5 A rated value.
Does higher amps mean faster charging?
“Ultimately, it’s really the amperage that determines how fast a charger will supply power to your device. If you want quicker charging, look for a wall or car charger that delivers 2100 mA of current at 5 volts (or whatever voltage the device you’re trying to charge is specced at).”
Does higher amp damage battery?
The answer is yes to both. Even batteries that charge in a couple of hours or so, have charge current 1/2 the amp hour capacity. That 1000 milliamp hour battery would be charged at 500 milliamps. Charging a 1,000 milliamp hour battery at 1 amp or more would likely damage or destroy it.
How do you match a battery to a charger?
2. The battery charger must have the same voltage as the battery, i.e. 12 V battery voltage = 12 V battery charger. And 24 V battery voltage requires a 24 V battery charger.
What does 5V 500mA mean?
It’s the current rating which is responsible for charging time of a battery. Also, 5volt, 1000mA can provide maximum power of 5 watts (ignoring the losses) whereas 5 volt, 500 mA can provide a maximum of 2.5 watts. By using 500 mA charge, battery will take double time to recharge itself as compared to 1000 mA.
What means 500mA?
Since your device is rated at 500mA (milliampere) or 0.5A, rated means the maximum current it will take from a power supply is 0.5A hence it will work perfectly fine.
Can I use a 5V 2A charger with a 5V 3A device?
Can we use a 5V 2A charging cable with a 5V 3A charging adapter? – Quora. Yes you can use that for devices which require that 5V 2A charger, else you should avoid this. Because the 5V 2A charging cable has voltage limit as well as current limit.
Can I use 500mA instead of 100mA?
For example, putting a 500mA pedal on a 100mA power tap would cause it to act erratically and probably shut down — it might even damage the pedal. Conversely, sending more milliamps than needed to a pedal is fine. Putting a pedal that draws 20mA on that same 100mA tap is no problem.
Can I use a 500mA instead of 400mA?
Yes, as the others say – using a 400mA device on a 500mA power supply is OK. Even a power supply that was rated for 2000mA or 2 Amps or more would work. Using the wrong voltage is often not OK.
