AC Adapter Voltage Question

[Nightfall]

Ok, here is the scoop.

I have two bluetooth headsets. A Motorola HS820 and an Motorola HS850. They both have the same power connector.

The HS820 has 5V output with 550mA
The HS850 has 5.9V output with 375mA

Are the adapters interchangeable? The HS850 adapter is dead and I want to know if the HS820 adapter will work until I get another adapter.

Three things that are important

The voltage
The Plug size
The polarity on the plug

If they agree, go to it.

voltage is close enough( better low than high), and current is sufficient. it might not be as loud or you may have poorer sound quality but it shouldn't hurt it unless the polarity is diffrent or you break it trying to force the plug

it should work fine as long as polarity is good.

.9v isn't too big of a deal, and its got enough current capacity.

Should be fine, but what jadinolf said is how you can decide for other items.
