Now I am sure that it would charge a 4S pack two cells at a time if you made an adapter however it is really one of those areas where if you have to ask then the answer is no.

Very few chargers come with AC power capabilities built in ,most especially higher output ones.

You will need a AC to DC 12-15 volts power supply and it should be at least 12 amps. and more is always better.

A automotive battery will work however be advised that based on my rather extensive experience these batteries take approx. 2/3 (0.66) Ah per cell per charge, so a 3S pack takes 2Ah from a 12V deep cycle per charge.
Due to the way many 12v batteries are rated a 7Ah sealed type would do well to last two charges.
