Qi charging pad voltage

[link68759]

So I spliced up the charging pad wire and got it directed connected to my car without an inverter, but the voltage regular I got from radioshack is really ****ty (go figure) and is giving 13V instead of the 12V the pad is rated for.

Too lazy to fix it: how long until the charging pad explodes?

It could happen anytime and you may get a electrical shock or even worse start a fire in your car, my advice:

GET IT OUT OF YOUR CAR!!!

I'm pretty sure that's what the fuses are for. There's one in the radioshack regulator too, so between the two fuses I'm not particularly worried about an electrical fire.

Realistically a capacitor is probably going to pop in the charging pad and die very anti climactically without even blowing a fuse. I just wonder how long that'll take, if ever. They do design these devices with a certain amount of tolerance, but I'm hoping to get a professional opinion on this.

edit- I was just told that devices usually have a +/-10% tolerance, and I'm sitting at 11% here, so.... it's probably fine. lol. Just shaving a few weeks off its life.
