The Wattage would be doubled, and either the voltage or current would be doubled, one or the other...

Depends on the drain of the battery....

Do you have a dynamo or an alternator?

Bicycle dynamos are in reality alternators and produce AC. A 6V AC source can be converted to 12V DC with a voltage doubler consisting of a capacitor and two diodes.
