    I have a 16V 4.5A powersupply and i want to use another one with it in a differnt location. Its is a completely differnt powersupply that has 15V 5A but they both equal about the same wattage. I believe it is ok to use with higher wattage, but im not sure about the voltage. Does anyone know if this is ok, and if it isnt, why cant I?
