For cordless hair clipper the power adaptor stopped working and I can’t find a replacement one locally and don’t wanna spend extra $ if I don’t have to. It has a wierd type of connector on the end so it’s not really common.
The original power adaptor is a DC 4.8v at 1.5a.
I have some spare 5v 1a and or 5v 2a that I can splice and use. Just wondering what the better bet would be?
I tested the 5v 2a adaptor and it’s pulling 5.5-5.6v with my multimeter. I spliced into the special hair clipper cord and it seems to be working alright.
Sorry I am not a electrician and don’t know all the specifics but with my math that means it would be giving my hair clipper battery 11w of power compared to 7.2w of power that the normal power adapter was giving. I could also splice into a different 5v 1a adaptor which would provide my clipper with 5-5.5w of power.
So if you were in my shoes would you use the 5v 2a (which seems to actually be 5.5v) or would you use the 5v 1a and splice Thst which would be around 5.5w. The original charger was 7.2 w (4.8x1.5)
Or am I completely overthinking?
the battery with some internet research seems to be a 18650 lithium Bat
Thanks!
