Hi,
I have a battery and it's charger is faulty. The charger is a power supply that outputs 12 V DC @ 0,4 Amp. I have found another power supply that also outputs 12v DC but @ 1 Amp.
I know that when a power supply can output more amps than those needed by the appliance usually there's no problem, because the appliance will use just the amps it needs.
But my problem is that the battery while charging becomes really hot...someone told me that's because the new power supply is more powerful and the battery charges too fast...
How can I limit my power supply to output 0.4 Amp instead of 1 Amp?
Should I apply a resistor?
