Charging batteries

   I have an Outbound Notebook which takes a camcorder-style 12v 2 Ah
battery. The Outbound's power adapter, which is used to both run the
unit and charge the battery is 22v, 0.82A. Unfortunately, I don't have
the adapter or anything similiar.
   What I would like to know is how forgiving the Outbound and its
battery would be if I used an innapropriate adapter. I have an adapter
that puts out 14v and 1.2 amps. Am I correct in assuming the 14v would
suffice for charging the batter (not running the unit)? What about the
1.2Ah, though? Will the extra amperage do any harm?

Thanks.

P.S. Anybody have a 22v, 0.82A adapter for sale?
