Default DC to AC adapter

So I am finally moving up with the big boys and going Lipo and away from Saddle packs. I just purchased a Duratrax Ice charger but was wondering what is the best DC to AC adapter to run so I do not have to charge it off my Truck battery all the time. And will there be anything else I will need also.

Thanks for your help

I would wait till they put it on sale if you can... just over a month ago they were 29.99 on sale... a few weeks ago they were 39.99 on sale.

I use one similar, not from that seller. works like a charm when you set it for the correct voltage. I found out that when it is set to 220 but run on 110 it doesnt work right
