These come in a variety of input and output ranges and amp ratings.
Note for Hams: Per the reviews, these adapters can be very noisy on UHF/VHF Frequencies.

If you don't want to sacrifice a charger, this adapter is also an option:

Generic Adapter for Kobalt 40V lithium battery

Being the cheap bastard that I am, I figured I'd sacrifice one of my extra chargers instead of spending the $29 on the pre-fab adapter.

This also exist, and I bought one cuz why not:
