Will a 9v DC adapter damage a device that requires a 6v DC adapter?

Yes, the manufacturer specifies what the working voltage of a device will be and that voltage has to be adhered to.

Will a 6v 2.2a adapter damage a device that requires a 5v 2.5a adapter?
Yes it will
Will a 5V 2.5A adapter damage a device that requires a 6V 2A adapter?
No, underpowering will not "power" the device, it will not run. You must get an adapter that is 6V and (2A or higher) will be ok as well.
Is it ok to use a 4.5V or 6V from a universal ac adapter 1300ma for device that requires 5V dc?
yes, depends on equipment..
Can you use a 12v power adapter when device requires 6v?
No, twice the voltage applied to a device that only requires 6 volts will probably destroy the device. When a manufacturer of equipment states a required voltage for a device that is the voltage that must be used.
Will 6v 300mA power adaptor work with a 6v 500mA device?
Most probably you are using a AC (117V or 220V) to DC 6V converter adapter. If yes, then the answer is no, you cannot use a lower current rating for a device that draws more current. If you plug in a device that needs DC 6V 500 mA to an adapter that can only supply DC 6V 300mA, then the adapter could start sending higher than 6 volts current which may damage your equipment or overheat the adapter. If you are using a higher mA rating adapter, then it's okay. For more technical details, see: http://www.jaycar.com.au/images_uploaded/plugpack.pdf
Can a 6 volt adapter be substituted for a 9 volt adapter?
No, of course not. The 6v adapter only produces 6v, while the load expects 9v.
For a device requiring DC 6V 1000mA will a DC adapter output 9V 1000mA also work for this device?
A device which requires 1000mA at 9 volts in order to operate will not work from an output of 500mA. This output is only half the power requirement of the device.
Can you use a 6V 2amp adapter on a 6V 600mA device?
No. You need to use the exact battery charger for the battery specified by the manufacturer, in order to achieve the correct charge cutoff point. In particular NiCad and similar batteries detect full charge by detecting the knee point in voltage per unit time given a specific charge current. Using the wrong charger could result in overcharge which will damage the battery.
Can you use 6V DC 1000mA adapter in place of 6V DC 600mA adapter?
Yes you can. Given the fact you're talking about milliamps - the slight increase in amps will have no detrimental effect.
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 use a 12v halogen bulb with a 6v AC adapter - wattage is the same?
no
Can you recharge a 6v 500ma with a 6v 300ma charger?
No, the charger has to be equal to or greater than the device it is charging.
