I don't know if this is the exact same charger mentioned previously in this thread (it looks a little different), but you need to be sure what the power output is before trying to use these on devices that they weren't specifically designed for.
Wrong kind of adapter. That one is no longer made. The reason that one you pointed out might be giving out 12V is because it is also useable for Firewire devices. Apple has not made iPod that runs via FireWire for a couple of years now.

The one I'm talking about clearly is printed with 5V output. It's printed clearly right on the adapter.
