My power adapter Apple A1300 has an USB output socket of 5 Volts, 1000 mAmperes, as written on its case.
What happens when I connect to it a certain device that asks for more than 1000 mAmperes? For instance, I have a Inno-Hit tablet that can be re-charged through USB, but its original power adapter is able to generate 5 Volts, 2000 mAmperes.
The three possible situations I see are:
1. A1300 crashes and burns like a roast chicken creating also a possible damage to the device connected to its USB socket
2. A1300 simply stops and doesn't generate any Volt and Ampere
3. A1300 works properly but generating not more than 1000 mAmperes
Of course I have tried to ask to Apple but I don't find a place in their website where you can put a written technical question or send an e-mail. And it is not the case to try to connect my tablet to A1300 and see what happens.. Only who really knows how A1300 is designed can help me.
Thank you in advance
