An example, your device needs 5 V and 1A, you can NOT use a charger with a output over 5V. If you have a charger of 12V and 1A don't use it. Always repect the voltage.
A charger of 5V and 1A or 2A can be used, but if the charger of 5V only has 500mA, do NOT use it, it can damage the electronics.
Then, repect the voltage and the same or more Amperes than your device requires. There are chargers that can change the voltage... I've never had just one.

Thanks, got it. Now, the question is what voltage and ampere my device needs. How can I find it out? I couldn't find any info about it. Guess the voltage is 5, and fortunately I have an old charger with 5V and 1Amp. I want to make sure to use a charger with => ampere.
