Hi Mark.

I think that is your problem.  I wouldn't expect one of those to work.

Try asking around for somebody who has a dead HTX202 that might be willing 
to part with the original charger, or try the after market battery 
companies like Batteries America.  I am also pretty sure that Maha makes a 
charger that will do what you want it to do, and some of the Maha chargers 
are pretty sophisticated.

I think you can make this work if you get a hold of the correct charger, 
but an AC adaptor like the one you just described is generally not well 
enough regulated to do the job.
