    The other day I noticed a device with an adapter that had wildly different amps and voltage but the Watts were the same and it fit so…

    I think it goes there…

      That is going to result either in a bang or nothing happening.

      You can use a power supply if:

      1. the plug fits

      2. the polarity is correct ( - and + are at the correct location)

      3. the voltage matches

      4. the current and wattage is the same or higher

      You want to make sure the Voltage matches or bad things can happen. The current and Wattage can be the same or higher, it will only draw as much as it needs.
