Car chargers

I have a 12 w car charger and I'm wondering if it will be compatible for my old, very old... did I mention old? iPod classic (8GB). I'm afraid to try it for fear of frying it.... I could still use the old car charger but I bought a new charger with a dual port so I could charge my new iPhone SE while driving and presumably also charge my iPod but now I'm worried that the new charger is too "strong" for it...


New charger indicates an input value at 12-24v and output value at 12w/2.4A. My iPod says "Rated 5-30v 1A Max "


Should I avoid using that new charger with my old iPod?

As long as the voltage specs are in range it should be OK. Devices won't pull more current charging than they need to, even if the charger could supply more.
