Electrical power requirements are governed by the device drawing the current, not the device supplying the current.
Your device will state what its requirements are and will only draw (up to) that current, barring a problem with the electronics.
The only problems that can arise to disable or break your device is if the supplied voltage is higher than required or if the supplied amperage is lower than required.
