The pad says DC and the Adapter says AC so I guess I have to find a

Only 20 more boxes to search.

check carefully. it might be AC input and DC output.

Not sure I've ever seen a wall wart with AC output. Not saying they don't
exist, but for the most part, if it's electronic, it's DC. Imagine trying
to design any kind of logic circuit with AC? Yikes! AC is good for
motors,
lights, and not a lot else.

Actually, a powered device might contain the
rectifier/filter/regulator and only use the wart for the AC supply.

It would be nice if all devices were made this way, then the OP's
question would be mute.

both mute and moot?
