Not trying to be disrespectful, but when you exceed the specs for a
power supply by around 33-50% "why" are you surprised it burned up?
Electrical stuff has rating (and limitations) for a reason.
A word to the wise: If anyone screws around with a
Lithium-ion battery (not saying it is)
this way (wrong chargers etc) you can easily cause a fire.
