>volts and watts aren't the same thing. You can be fully capable of supplying [email protected] and not capable of supplying 12v@1A which are the same number of watts.
For the layman, the equation is Volts x Amperes = Watts.
Where if we use the common water examples: Voltage is electric charge ("water pressure" or "volume of water"), Amperage is electric current ("water flow rate"), and Wattage is electrical energy ("amount of water transferred").
2V x 6A, 4V x 3A, 1V x 12A, 12V x 1A and similar are all 12W but they are obviously very different in nature.
