Thanks for checking.

Something unregulated rated at anything past 12V rated at an amp or
more might just fit the task, and be easier to find in the junk pile
than something unregulated and small with specifically 16V stamped on it.


12v or even 13.5v will not put a charge into a 12v lead acid battery, it
needs to be in the range 13.8 to 14.2v


A biggish transformer marked 12v lightly loaded will be supplying that
and more easily. Got no worries about that (and as I said easier for me
to find).

Cheers
