US Laptop in UK

I realise this may be a somewhat mundane question to ask for you people into computers, but I'm not. So bear with me!
I have a US brought laptop with the 2-pin plug. Today, I went to buy a US-UK adapter - the guy in the shop asked me what voltage it was.....silly boy - I did not have a clue. Anyhow, I bought a 'Tacima' voltage converter anyway. Got home, plugged it in to laptop, laptop recognised it was charging, great! A few hours later, I come back, laptop run out of battery. I presume the charge is not sufficient.
Can anyone direct me to the product I need please in order to run my laptop off UK mains? I would be very appreciative!
Thank you
