Hey guys im not the best with electronics to be sure not to make something my self. I made a little short wave radio when I was younger so I understand a little and know how to solder things together. I want to hook my Desert fox up at my house to just plug into the wall. Them make a 40$ adapter which i think is to expensive. If any of you can look at this and give me a cheap easy solution to build or use something else with out blowing the thing up. here is the expensive adapter they sell http://www.blackcatmining.com/mining-equip...wer-adapter.cfm And I can not find another one like it besides maybe a lap top charger if thats all I need to use I would like to know what to look for if all I need to worry about is the 3.33 amps or some type of conversion please help. Thank You guys and thank you Bill for the Desert Fox.

I forgot to also explain that im trying to find something that will allow me to hook the battery cables to the adapter like the adapter they sell is designed. If I could just splice the wire coming out of an adapter and connect the ends to the connectors I will make a little box for it making it safe I just need to know if it will work. I dont want to splice the cable and find that there is only one wire coming out knowing that wouldnt work. I apologies for my spelling as well I am holding a baby and typing with one hand
