Best Answer

After the smoke clears...... the charger won't work. Unless it was rated for 120v-220v. Radio Shack (and others) sell devices to convert 220v to 110v to use your charger, but be sure to get one that uses a "transformer". Here's one rated for 85w (watts) http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062422

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.

If you buy the 220 Volt Adapter for the XL it will work fine. If you just plug it in the resistors and hardware within the charger will short out and be unuseable after that. I purchased the 220 Volt adapter for the DSI XL for less that $10.00 from Amazon and it worked fine.
