Hi, my mom bought a portable DVD player and is always complaining how bad the battery life is (it only lasts about an hour). I told her I could probably make an external battery pack for it, so here's what I've got. The DC-in jack says it takes "9-12V 1A", I have a 12V 6AH Li-Ion battery and I bought the conversion plugs I need to make it fit, but I don't want to just plug the battery in for fear that it might put more than an Amp into the DVD player, thus frying it. Can anyone tell me if I should be worried about this or if there's a better way to do it? Should I just measure the current with my multimeter (it has a 10 Amp "unfused" setting)
Thank you.
Thank you.
