you are supposed to charge it with the USB cable from your computer.
And 5VDC USB wall chargers are pretty easy to locate and dirt cheap these

If I were you, I'd pickup some high capacity Lithium Ion double A batteries 
and a decent charger for them so you always have fresh batteries for the 
unit.
