Help with universal camera charger?

I'm going overseas in a couple of days so naturally, I want to take heaps of photos. I have a Nikon Coolpix P100 that I hadn't used in a while so I bought a new battery and everything was fine until I tried charging the camera. The port thingy that the USB cord plugs in to in the camera is damaged. Anyway, I went to a store that told me to buy a universal charger for the battery itself but then I went to another store where they told me that I can't charge the battery by itself if I usually charge it through the camera. I don't know much about this sort of stuff but I still somewhat doubt what the second store said is true, so I've been checking out universal battery chargers and found one here: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MB3639&CATID=83&form=CAT2&SUBCATID=998#3
The product details say that it is suitable for 3.6v and 7.2v but my camera battery is 3.7v. Basically my question is will I be able to charge my battery in this specific product?
Sorry if this is a stupid question haha we all gotta start somewhere, right? :)

Thanks in advance: D
