Default I need help!

Hey there guys, I just recieved my new R/C Tank in the mail today. Man it sure looks great, just sitting there...with no power.

My problem being this tank is from america while I am in australia! Sure enough, using my internation powerplugconversion tool that doesn't actually convert AC power it just lets you plug it in to the wall I fried my Battery charger.

Here are its specs;

AC power input: 110v 60Hz (american standard)
DC output: 7.2v 400mah

and the Ni-cd battery is a 7.2v 1700mAh.

Now, I dont know much about batterys - but I have an australian style MODEM(as-in computer) power block with these specs;

AC power imput: 240v - 50Hz (australian standard)
DC output: 7.5v 1000mAh


What I am getting at, is can I safely charge the battery using the alternate australian power block? Or will it just destroy the battery? (I cant afford that)

Thankyou so much for any help in advance [&:]
