Find a broken computer pc and use the power supply from it
to recharge the batteries.

When doing this, you need to put a load on the 5V output, or the 12 V
will not work well.

Various articles on the web for converting a PC power supply to a 12V
voltage source. It may have more ripple than is tolerable for a direct
circuit, no problem as a battery charger.

Happy trails,
