The higher voltage one will send all its ucrrent to the lower voltage one, overheating itself in the process. The lower voltage one will absorb this current, resulting in heating. OK, it won't go to zero output, but the higher will contribute very little. Except to overheat itself.... With luck, the inherent current limiting will prevent it from instant death, but it WILL overheat. regards dwp
