    As long as the AC adapter output corresponds to the input needed you should be fine.

    So all I need to worry about is the voltage and not the amps or whatever the a is.

    YES YOU DO. The amps need to be the same or higher. The voltage needs to be the same or at most .5 higher. NOT LOWER.

    To put it this way.....

    AMPS= SAME OR HIGHER. NOT LOWER
    VOLTS= SAME OR 0.5 HIGHER. NOTHING HIGHER OR LOWER.
