Gidday guys

I have a battery powered pencil sharpener (4x AA) which I'd like to hook up to a power pack instead.

I'm guessing 6v, but what milliamps would do the trick?

Thanks for your time and help.

Hello and welcome to Electronics Point

1A (one amp) should be plenty. You might get away with 500 mA (1/2 amp) but there wouldn't be much cost difference, so I would go for a 1A adapter.
