12 watts is equal to 2.4 amps. 5 volts times 2.4 amps equals 12 watts.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Watts equals volts x amps. Its how much the device is capable of producing safely. Amps is only part of the equation. Some vehicles operate at different voltages. Most vehicles in the US have a battery that has an available voltage of 12.6v Which would come 1.9amps used by the charger, but some vehicle use 24 or 48 volts. This reduces the amps used down to around 1 or .5amps. by the charger. It will still only produce a max of 24 watts to your devices. So amps would not work to accurately tell you what it is capable of providing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not sure but if works and great return policy
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Because the output of the charger is what shows the power of the charger. The amps doesn't necessarily increase the output depending on how the charger is made. In most cases it is usually half of what you need.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Win, The Amps only is useful when V is constant. However W is useful always regardless if V or A or both change.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do not know the answer for this one. I think it's best you check with the manufacturer, or Google.
