USB power source for Mini 0805

[Rob1990]

Hi everybody,

I received the mini 0805 from Gearbest, and it seems to be working fine.
There's a question i have about the power source for the Mini 0805. It is shipped out with a 12v > 5v converting charger with 1.5A. As i have to charge multiple items during my drive home and to work, i need my USB charger aswell.
I have a USB car charger with multiple entries. its 5v but supplies 3.6A.
Is it possible to plug the Mini 0805 in this socket without bricking it or burning it? As the difference in ampere is significant.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Yes you can use it.
1.5A and 3.6A are Max current loads you can get from chargers, but camera consumption is less then 1A.
Important is voltage to be 5v which is the same for both chargers.
