Running PD Board from an outlet

The battery I have with me has completely died for our test programming/electrical board.

I was wondering if I could run the PD Board from power from an outlet instead? Obviously not directly connected.

I was thinking one of those AC to DC Car lighter convertors. It would still be 12 volts. Here's an example http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Ciga...ref=pd_sxp_f_i

I have one of those around.

Has anybody tried this and been successful? Or is it just a really bad idea.
