You would need a 12VDC to 120VAC power supply.
You get power by multiplying the amperes and the voltage. 12V, 10A dc would give the same power as 120V, 1A ac.
It will more than likely explode. You charge the battery with a charger that coverts 120V AC to 12V DC.
INPUT: AC 120V 60Hz OUTPUT: DC 12V 200mA
A DC to AC inverter takes a DC voltage input to a AC voltage output. So if you have a 12v battery and need to run a 120v AC tool or something. All you need to do is plug a inverter to your battery and plug your 120v tool the the inverter. Takes all there is too it.
DC 12V power supply can convert 110/220V AC power source to 12V DC.
You can get them at Radio Shack or at any electronics retailer.Compatible with most portable DC-powered devices; converts 120V AC to 3-12V DC; includes common adapter plugs
If you want to convert 24v AC into 12v Ac, it's simple. Just get a transformer to convert 24 volts into 12 volts. This is called a stepdown transformer. If you want to convert 24v DC into 12v DC, it's more complicated. First you have to change the 24v DC into 24v AC by a switching converter that changes DC into AC. Then you would use a stepdown transformer as in the former example. Once the 24v AC is converted to 12v AC, then you use a rectifier bridge to change the 12v AC into 12v DC.
