You could, but you risk frying your Newt.

AC in 100V-240V, 50-60Hz, 20-38VA
DC out 7.5V, 1.2A

But, unlike many other AC adapters, the 9W Newton adapter does not allow
the output to exceed what the Newton can take when it goes into the
fastCharge mode. Other adapters will give the Newton more that the specified
power when the Newt asks for it _ not a good thing.
