Default charging lipos with an astro flight 109

I have a Astro flight model 109 Lithium charger and I am wondering if I can power it with
a Pyramid Model PS-12KX regulated power supply
specs as follows
Output 13.8 VDC
10 amp constant
12 amp surge

the astro flights instructions say to use a 12 volt regulated supply or auto battery
and I am concerned that the 13.8 volts the power supply puts out will be too much input voltage

am I safe using it ?

Thanks
Greg

Buy the Corsel power supply from www.lightflightrc.com for $22.00, its worth much much more then that ($150 new if you were to buy it from factory) and it much much higher quality then the Pyramid supplys. You just need a cord and your good to go

The Pyramid will work fine. The PS8 will work as well.
