I have a battery charger that has clips for a 12V battery. I am looking for a way to plug it into the AC wall.
I would like a normal wall plug with positive and negative poles {kind of like a car battery} where i can clip the 12V clips onto. This way I could use it for both home and battery use. Any suggestions?

Yup, get a power supply.
They are around 60-100$ and well worth the money. Get at LEAST a 10 AMP PS. OR, if you know what you are doing, a computer power supply will work VERY well, you just need to solder some connectors or bananna jacks to the right leads and mount it in a box to keep everything straight and mobile.

Here is a 350 watt PS for $8. This is about as big as they come.

Jigeye,
Go to Ebay and search for 12V power supply.
I've got a 13 amp unit I paid less than $30 for.
There are several on there. Some of the freights are high because they are coming from China.
Also, one person convering and selling PC power supplies.
Good Luck,
