It'll be a step down to a suitable charging voltage for the battery, so about 13.8v DC. Voltage will be critical so just buying a 12v adaptor is either going to overcharge the battery or not charge it at all.
I would buy something like this and then put a cigar lighter plug on it:

Make sure the positive conductor goes to the tip of the cigar lighter plug and try to buy a plug with an integral fuse to protect the wiring if it goes wrong.
What's wrong with the existing one? Might just be a broken wire?
