The key thing that honestly, confused me, is that it seems at first that you are just looking for a plug adapter by showing that link. But it seems you are actually looking for the charging cable thingy. I would hazard that many people when you show them that picture might think the same.

Seems I've done a good job of confusing everyone :-/. Once I showed my friend the actual charging unit and said "I need a mains cable to stick in there." he took it and the batteries home and located a cable. They are now charging back at his place. Phew.
