Hello.
It should work fine as long as the plugs have the same polarity and share the same physical dimensions.. 4.5a simply means that it can output that much power. The machine only pulls as much power as it needs to run with all peripherals that get power from it. In reality this means that a 4.5a power supply can drive the machine and more peripheral devices than the 3.36a would.
Cheers
/Helge
