Being Mr. Ignorrant like me, I tend to have the policy "if it fits then its for that".
How wrong I am. I have a (random) charger which I dont know what its for. I have a 1 million candle power spotlight i want to charge. I put Mr. 12V charger into Mr. 6V spotlight and plug to wall.
I smell burning, like the smell of a cap gun. I sniff around to troubleshoot and I go OH MY GOD and look at the spotlight and its hot to the touch so I turn the power switch off and unplug it and I go uh-oh and realise I used the wrong adapter.
I have the REAL adaptor for it (its a cigarette car lighter one) here, would I still be safe to try charge the spotlight with that? Or will the battery explode, killing me and the occupants of the car.
The spotlight was charging for 1 minute maximum.
I feel really stupid and am now going to quadriple-nipple check everything
