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.  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? |
