Chargers require a minimum voltage to work. They typically say 85V and might work with lower, but I expect 18V is way too low. I'd also be very nervous about feeding DC into a PFC circuit (which is designed to track the AC waveform) - does anyone know for sure what PFC does if you feed it the wrong frequency? (Someone else asked about 400Hz aircraft power too.)

You'd be better off getting one of the cheaper clone adapters with passive or no PFC if you want to make a dedicated DC power supply.
