No. The battery will be charged at a rate which is 2* the normal rate. This will cause the battery to overheat which might cause it to explode.

The battery will probably be charged too fast and at a too high current. There's an immediate risk of the battery overheating and getting damaged.
not advisable it will over charge the battery which will damage the battery it could also cause the battery to explode and it can also damage the charger

I have jumped my lawn mower with the car no problem. Be very carefull if trying. Twice the required voltage can send smoke out of the wiring.

Not safely. You can easily burn out both pieces.

Yes if you wish to blow yourself up! Actually I found out that if you are using a trickle charger, you can. But thanks anyway.

A 12 volt charge will seriously warp the plates and render the battery useless.

What happens to 12 volt battery with 6 volt charge?

The battery will attempt to charge the charger since the battery is at a higher voltage than the charger. Thus, the battery will simply discharge and generate heat. If you leave it plugged in long enough, eventually the battery will discharge to a point where it can maintain only 6V, where it will stay until you actually charge the battery.


How can you charge 6 volt dry cell?

If it is not rechargeable DO NOT attempt to recharge it, the battery can explode causing damage to you, your charger, to anything or anyone around ground zero.If it is rechargeable you should have or you can get the proper charger.Do Not just get any charger It Must Be the correct Voltage and Amperage for your battery.


Will a 6V adapter work on a 9V device?

Depending on what we're talking about here, most devices will tolerate +/-15%, or in your case, 7.65v to 10.35v. A 6V power supply will only give the device 66% of the power it's rated for (not enough). Even if you could find an adapter that would fall within the 15% tolerance, it's not a good idea to try it. A multi-voltage adapter can usually be purchased for cheap at your local RadioShack or if you're feeling lucky, you might be able to find one at any place that recycles electronics (Goodwill or any local recyclers).


Can you use a 9V 300ma adapter to power a 6V 800ma device?

No, the mA rating of adapters is the maximum amount of load that can be drawn from the adapter. 1 amp is equal to 1000 mA. By replacing a 800 mA adapter instead of using a 1000 mA adapter is limiting the connected devices load by 200 mA. If the connected device draws 800 mA's or less then the adapter will work.

Can you charge a motorcycle battery with a car battery charger?

Yes as long as it is the right voltage: a 6v battery needs a 6v charger; a 12v battery needs a 12v charger. <><><> If you can set the battery charger's output to give either a 6 or a 12 volt output, then you must always remember to set it to 6 volts if you want to use it to charge a 6 volt motorcycle car battery.


Can you use a 12V 7Ah charger to charge a 12V 26Ah battery?

Yes, the amp hour rating gives you an idea of the capacity of the battery and charger. The charger and battery need to have the same voltages. i.e. dont try to charge a 6v battery with a 12 v charger. The battery will be charged until it is full.


Can a 12v battery be charged by 6v supply?

No, you need at least 12v to charge 12v. Most alternators charge at 13-14 volts.


I need to charge my lawn tractor battery. My battery charger has 3 settings on it. Which charger setting should I use?

The settings on your battery charger may vary the charge voltage (e.g. 6V and 12V) or the charge rate (e.g. 2A and 6A). Because you say that your charger has three settings, I would guess that either the charge voltage is fixed at 12V (and you have 3 choices for charge rate) or you have one setting for 6V and two choices for charge rate at 12V. Make sure the voltage is set to the markings on your battery. This is most likely 12V, but it's best to make sure. If you can't match the setting (you have a 12V only charger and your battery is 6V), you must use another charger or you are likely to damage the battery and to risk explosion. The charge rate setting is meant to allow you to charge batteries of different sizes. A lawn tractor battery probably should be set at the lowest charge rate, say 2A. Larger batteries, like the one in your car, can be charged at higher rates. Charging at a low rate prevents the build-up of heat in the battery and reduces the risk of damage.


Can you recharge a 6v 500ma with a 6v 300ma charger?

Yes, you can recharge a 6V 500mA battery with a 6V 300mA charger. The charger with lower current (300mA) may take longer to fully charge the battery compared to a 500mA charger, but it should still work. Just ensure you do not exceed the voltage rating of the battery.


Can you charge two 6v batteries in a series with a 12v charger and which posts do you connect the charger to?

Yes you can. Connect the chargers positive lead to the positive of one battery, then the negative side of that battery to the positive side of the other battery, then connect the negative lead of the charger to the negative of the second battery. Double check all your connections and turn on the charger.

Will changing the battery from 6v to 12 v affect gas gauge reading?

If it is in your car then no, why do you have a 6v battery in your car in the first place it should be a 12v.
