Question about [PID:1407] Inductive Charging Set - 5V

Post by mRichard629 »

It lists the general specs as 5V @ 500mA max. My question is can I buy 2 and wire them up in a parallel setup to get 1 amp?

Generally, it is not a good idea to wire two power supplies in parallel. Unless they are 100% perfectly matched, they will not share the load and you will end up overloading one of them.
