You should only use a charger that has the same voltage and current rating as the psp was designed for.

Can you charge a 6 volt battery with a 12 volt battery charger on slow 2amp charge?

It is not recommended to charge a 6 volt battery with a 12 volt battery charger as it can damage the battery. The higher voltage can overcharge the battery and cause it to overheat. It is important to use the correct charger with the matching voltage to prevent damage to the battery.


Can you use a 3.5 amp charger to charge a 12 volt battery?

You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 6 AMP charger. The amount of amps put out by the charger is actually the rate which the power flows out from the charger, not the amount of volts it will charge. Volts and Amps are two different things. You can't charge up a 12 volt battery all the way, using a 6 volt charger. You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 12 volt charger rated at '6 amps'. It will charge the battery faster than a 2 amp charger will, but it will take longer than using a 12 amp charger. You probably don't want to use anything higher than a 12-16 amp charger for charging a 12 volt battery. Some chargers are equipped with a 60amp boost charge that is used for starting the vehicle, without having much of a charge in the battery. You DO NOT want to attempt charging a battery with it set to a 60amp boost charge. That is for starting vehicles only and could damage your battery. Keep in mind that the lower the amps are, that you use to charge the battery (1-2amps), will result in the charge lasting longer without recharging it, than if it was charged up at a higher setting (12-16amps).


Can you charge a 9.6 volt NiCad Battery Pack with a 6 volt charger?

The answer depends upon the construction of the 6 volt battery. If you can treat it as two 3 volt batteries then the answer is YES otherwise NO. Charge each section separately inserting a low wattage torch bulb between the charger and battery cell to limit the current. Choose the bulb to prevent execissive charging rate; an ammeter would come in handy. The main risk is EXPOSION if you charge too fast! Put the battery to be charged inside a strong box for safety. If in doubt buy a new battery charger, they are cheap.


Can you charge a 6 volt battery with 12 volt charger?

No. A 12 v battery will actually have a charged peak voltage of 13.54v or 13.58v. A six volt charger will have around a max 7.5v voltage. The 6v charger will think the battery has peaked and will discontinue charging.


Can you use a 12 volt battery on a 6 volt system?

Sure you can. But consider what could happen if you did. If precision of time or speed was built into this 6-volt system, a 12-volt battery will make it work faster until something shorts or burns out. If you need more lasting power for the 6 volt system, you should consider putting two 6-volt batteries in parallel to power your 6-volt system.

Can you use a 6 volt charger for a 9 volt battery?

No, the battery will be overcharged and battery damage will occur if it is done.


Can you use a 9 volt charger for a 6 volt battery?

This is not advised! The 9-volt charger might have a current limiter so that nothing burns up, but it any case if left on it will destroy the 6 volt battery by overcharging. A 6-volt charger is not expensive.
