Can a 12V 3A battery power a 12V 1A dvd player?

[fred baker]

I have a battery that I was hoping to use to power my dvd player however it says that the battery is 12volts at 3amps and my dvd player says it is 12 volts at one amp can I successfully use this battery which is 12 volts at 3 amps to power a dvd player that says 12 volts at 1 amp any help is appreciated thank you!

The battery will supply the current required by your dvd load (1amp) but is capable of providing up to 3amps for other applications. Go for it.
