10A @ 14v is 140w. As long as the charger doesn't try to draw more than that, you'll be set. To find out, just multiply the max battery voltage (4.2v per cell for Li) by the charge current. If this value exceeds 140W, then the N-Power won't be enough, unless you simply charge the pack at a lower current.

I would like to take a minute to apologize for any confusion this post might have caused. The intent was to mod a cheap computer PS for use as a generic 12v power supply. As we've seen, it might not be as easy as originally thought. Having an electronics background, I find these projects fun and easy to do, even with the little bumps along the way. However, I don't want people to spend ~$40 on a PS that might be overly difficult to get to work and then become angry if it seems complicated. I'm not trying to be condenscending, I just know how confusing things can be when just starting out.
