Current on Replacement Plug-In Class 2 Transformer
I want to replace my faulty PLUG-IN Class 2 Transformer which has following specs :
Input : 120 / 60 Hz /5.5 W
Output : 15V 200 mA
My question : can I replace this with a replacement transformer which is rated 15V 2000mA ?

Welcome to the forums.
The answer is yes and no.
If that 200ma transformer is being used as a charger for a device..... it may be sized specifically to deliver a set charging current. Charging that same device with a 2000ma supply could cause batteries to explode.
Tells us what it's being used on...... make and model.

Hi Pjmax - yes, the transformer is used to charge battery of RYOBI 12V rechargeable battery pack.

Then you must stay with a 200ma charger. That 200ma is the charging rate for the battery. A 2000ma charger would cause charger and battery damage.
