Hi guys, I live in India and I was given a Duracell NiMH Battery + recharger pack from the US as a gift. I later realized its adapter only worked on 120V input.
I had almost forgotten about it, when today I happened to come across a 240V input to 120V output adapter during a visit to the local electronics hardware district. It was rated to work at 50W, so I picked it without any further thought.
Now at home I realize the Duracell adapter is rated at 90W.
So my question is if I charge only 2 batteries at a time instead of the maximum 4, will the adapter work? or am I screwing the hardware mercilessly?
From my take on it, basically a 50W converter wont supply enough current to the 90W adapter of the recharger, so although it should take it longer to charge, it shouldn't ruin any hardware... Am I thinking on the right lines?
OR will the convertor overheat and burn due to higher amount of juice being sucked through it? This seems more plausible.
I plugged it in (2 batteries), it seemed to work okay. But switched it off within a couple of minutes.
Any insight welcomed...
