This has been my exact strategy. I've finally got about half my box-o-wallwarts labeled for their associated device.


This is the opposite of my strategy: each wall wart in my box gets a legible label with voltage and ampacity. Eg 9V 200mA, 12V 500mA, etc. Each device gets a corresponding legible label with its required voltage and maximum current.

Then it's just a matter of picking out one that's adequate for the selected device, it's a many-to-many mapping with lots of valid solutions, not one-to-one.


Connector size doesn’t matter to you?
