You can try www.mahaenergy.com for chargers. But you would have to manually connect the +ve, -ve, and sense connections each time, and Murphy says one of these days you will make the wrong connection and pop/blow/burn something expensive along the way.
Many years ago Sony DC input on their portable consoumer electronics have the center pin as -ve and shield as teh +ve, I made a Ni-Cad battery pack to power a portable CD player in the car since the lighter socket carried ignition noise, I would charge the battery in the house overnight and then bring the pack to hook up to the CD player in the morning. I forgot how I was hooking it up in the car, but it was obviously not idiot proof! I distinctly remember one morning noticing a small amount of white smoke pouring out from the CD player after the battery connections..... The incorrect connection had caused a 5 VDC regulator inside the unit to burn up, I had to wait a month for the part to be shipped in from Japan and some amount of cost to get it fixed. If I were you, I wouldn't want to take a chance with the 1Ds batteries as it carries quite a bit of energy!
