Default Using my stryker car charger in home?

Hi, i'm sorry to dig this issue up again (i've searched the forums already but i end up confused with my findings).

I got myself a Stryker F27C today, as many of you probably already know it comes with a charger to charge the bats from my car. I'm a little uncomfortable doing this, as well as the fact i have to leave the keys in my ignition to get power from my 12V socket.

Basically, i am looking for a way to get this thing running in my house. The back of the charger says 'input : 10.5-15.0V DC' & under that '3 amps.

So am i looking for a 12V/3A power supply? Or would something like this suffice?

Or am i going to have to buy one of those cigarette lighter-to-alligator clips convertors, and THEN a 12V 3A power supply that allows me to connect them?

Thanks in advance!

Same Question...BUT

I also have Two Super Cubs a Stryker B and a Typhoon so I need something I can use to charge the 7, 8 and 9 Cell Ni-MH batteries with. The Stryker C as I am sure everyone knows has a 11.1V 2200mAh 3 Cell Lipo..

What charger should I buy to use in the house?

That one in the link is only good for one amp. You will not be able to charge with it. Go to Radio Shack and get a 3 amp minimum converter. Mine is 3 amp, and powers my Triton no problemo. Paid $25 or less for mine.
