Hello, I have 2 walki-talkies that run on 3 AA batteries each, and I would like to modify them so that an AC power supply will do the trick.
The batteries are in series in the walkie, and therefore in theory would be at:
3*1.5V = 4.5 V
I have several 5V adaptors I could use, and I wasn't sure if that would be too much voltage and bust the walkies.
Also, I used a meter on the batteries when in series, and they were giving out 4.1 V total. Should I just buy a couple 4V supplies to use, or would that not be enough?
Finally, Do you think a 1A supply would be enough? They are just little GE walkies.
They look like this:

I apologize for the dozen pixel picture. Thank you for any and all help!
