Hey, I just ordered the Park Zone SUper Decathlon. It comes with this charger:

I want to use my AC plugs in my house to charge, not a car ( Im not old enough to drive!!!)

Can I use any AC/DC converter? Will this one work:

It says its for cell phones, but it converts AC to DC, but is all DC the same? Will it work with a 1.2 amp charger, even though it only puts out 0.5A DC? If it wont work, anyone know an AC/DC converter that will work?

Thanks a bunch, I want to order one now, lol.

Yes it will work, However, it only has an output of .5a and your charger is capable of 1.2a. It will just take a while to charge depending on the batteries capacity. I remember seeing one that allowed 2a. I will see if I can find it.

Just looked at the Parkzone package. The battery is a 600mah pack. So essentially you are only loosing .1a. The difference in charge time wont be noticable in my opinion.

it says to charge those Park Zone batteries at 0.9A, so I would be charging at almost half that, and they say it takes 40 min at 0.9 A, so it will take 1 hour 10 min at 0.5.

I am buying from ebay and I seen othe AC/DC adapters that have an output of 2A. I will link them, but the charger wil only use 0.9A, thats ok though, right?

EDIT:

how bout this:
