Is there such thing as a USB to wallplug adapter? I'm not talking about an iPhone charger but like you plug it into a USB port and then you can plug anything you would plug into the wall in the other side? If so please put a link. Thanks sorry if this is in the wrong category.

Probably not. Things that plug into a wall expect to be getting 120V AC. USB is a measly 5V, and it's DC.

What are you hoping to do? Maybe there is another way to do it.

Nope. USB maxes out at 2.5W (or about 4.5W if you're talking USB 3.0). any wall devices use several hundred watts, or even kilowatts.

I was thinking of buying an electric scooter for the neighborhood and was wondering if the Limefuel 15600 mah battery would help me get twice the range because the scooter is 7000mah 9000mah if you get the higher capacity battery and says it takes a charge of 1.67 amps so I don't think this is possible for some odd reason I thought it said 1.5 w. Thanks

One thing to note is that the scooter probably has multiple cells in series, whereas the external battery will be all in parallel, because big numbers sell better.

1.67A at what V? Most houses have plugs on the outside. I'd just charge using that.

I think the point is to take the battery pack with him on the scooter, leaving it permanently plugged in.
