Yes, 12.7V would be nominal for a properly designed adapter. Maybe the wide range of voltages I ve seen coming from these things is their way to compensate for

The Atomahawk draws about 15 milliamps, nothing to worry about there. The HAWK draws more like 50-75 milliamps. Also not much. But if you add those high

Correct. The current rating of power supplies is the maximum current that the unit can supply to the load. If the load is only 2 milliamps then the load will

The current doesn t matter as long at the power supply provides at least as much as the device needs. Device destruction occurs when the voltage doesn t match.
