If this is a homework related question, you really should consider trying to solve it yourself before looking at this answer. Otherwise, the value of the lesson, and the reinforcement provided by the assignment, will be lost to you.

You need more than a step down transformer to charge a battery. You also need a rectifier to generate a DC voltage source, and you need a regulator, specifically designed for the battery, to regulate the current flow into the battery.
