So there is nothing "special" about this charger, ie timers etc... Any standard PSU that outputs the correct voltage and current would do the same job?


You ought to be a little careful (especially as the pack you are charging isn't cheap) - some devices rely on the inherent current limit from the brick to limit the battery charge current and you don't know the variance on the specs that they are using are going to be matched by the brick you find.

Safest way is going to be an auto-transformer to get down to 110v. This one looks perfect and quite overspecced too (given you only need something like 5VA) - under a tenner:
