RE: will this dc adapter work
Are you prepared to cut the connector off the DS charger, add the right connectors, verify that you have the polarity right, never be able to use it for the DS ever again, and have it take at least 12 hours (probably more) to charge the battery? Then sure, why not. But only if it supplies 12 volts. Dumb idea, IMO.
Get a power supply for your DC charger so you can use it in the house. I use a 12volt refrigerator power supply. About $20 at Walmart, and it has a "cigarette lighter" outlet on it.

I doubt you can use the wall transformer to charge your batteries.
Most of those kind of wall transformers put out 350 or so mA, and you'll need about 1 A for every Mah of a battery when you charge.
