Hi,
Like many of us, I have an extensive collection of wall warts, but before plugging them into non-matched equipment, I thought I'd check voltages.
The few that I'd like to use more seem quite high and it makes me concerned about using them in other equipment.
For example, a 6V-rated one (no brand) outputs 9.96V, and the 9V one (Sony-brand) outputs 11.87V. Both are pretty big and heavy, so I think they have linear PSUs inside.
Is it normal to have such output voltage? Are they expected to drop under load?
