I bought an electric scooter for my kid, It says charger 6V, 1A, charge for 6 hours.

I lost the charger, and buying its replacement may take awhile to ship.  cry.gif
In the meantime I have a functional charger from another motorized appliance, 12V, 1A.
It the only charger in the house with the same sized input jack.
Can I use this one instead?

Since Power = Voltage x Ampere x Time, this means my charging time should cut to half and it'll be OK right?

No. Cannot. The scooter batter is 6V. If you charge with 12V charger, it will kill the battery immediately ... KABOOM cool2.gif

What you can do is to put two 6V battery in series
