Hi, welcome.

Using the Epoch charger push the button then just wait until the light goes out, you can charge it twice but every time you do so it will shorten the batteries life and ability to hold a full charge. New NiMH batteries require several complete charge and discharge cycles to reach optimum performance so the best thing to do is charge it once run it, charge again and run it, and so on after awhile you will notice that it will start running longer. However the charger batteries will be getting weaker each time so a 9v power supply that plugs into the charger is definitely something worth having.

The shop here might have the 9v power supplies, if not Radio Shack sells 9v dc 1 amp power supplies that work.

A hobby grade peak charger with low voltage low current settings for small battery packs are even a better choice. The Battery section of the forum here has some pretty good info but you may have to change the display options to From the “Beginning” to see them all. The following is a link to one that has digital peak charger info.
