No that is fine, that is normal drain for the clock and computers etc, as long as the drain is below 0.2 amp you will be fine.

That’s correct there 1000 milliamps in an amp

Very much appreciate your video as I didn't know what current drain to expect.

[slopings]

Fantastic and clear. Thanks.

0.2A is 200 milliamps isn't it?
