Hello,
I have a little wireless camera that I want to power on a battery. The camera requires 12V ~1 amp DC to run. I am a DIY kind of person and have a few lead acid batteries from work, all of them are 12V DC, but they range from 4.5 amp to 12 amp.
I've worked with AC power in the past, but not a whole lot with DC, and wanted to know will these batteries be too much?
One friend I asked, said that it doesn't matter provided they are 12V, the amps just determine how long the battery will last. Is he right?
I like this little camera and don't want to blow it up.
Thanks
