Driving a 12V relay with 18V
Dave_C:
The wasted power that james_s talked about is the power dissipated by the resistor ( 0,182W according to your calculations )
It depends on your requierments if that's acceptable or not.
If you powered the relay from a battery that would matter a lot, otherwise it's not really too much of a problem.

the relay is use to charge a battery pack and its charged with a wall adapter. so I guess it wont matter that much

Just use an src instead of relay
