My NXT Charger came with my battery. The output of the charger is 10.8 volts, 700 ma 8W. I would just buy the Lego charger. After reaching a full charge, the charger goes into a trickle charge mode.

(...) I'd say a bad idea, since it's supposed to be supplied with 9-12V *AC* (not DC) power. Like the RCX 1.0, it might work under a DC supply... but that's not what it was designed for. (17 years ago, 30-Nov-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi, Can anybody confirm whether recharging a NXT battery block using 9V or 12V DC adapter is a bad or good idea, please? Seems that LEGO published HW schematics for the brick, but not for the battery block... Pavel. (17 years ago, 30-Nov-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
