Default Voltage vs ma rating for reusing chargers

Ok, Steve supplied additional info from my initial computation. Thanks Steve.
For those in question, these wall warts are mostly constant power chargers. Therefore, as the cell number/voltage decreases from the rated amount the current will increase. Inversely, as the cell number/voltage increases from the rated amount the current will decrease.
Still, due to the limits of the wall warts it is a good idea to check the output with a meter and watch it for overheating. (The latter is just a safety precaution.)
