Can I charge my SOlar Monkey directly through the wall socket in Europe?

Hi Ingham, Thank you for your question for Shop Akari. There are two ways to charge your Solamonkey. You can place the unit in direct sunlight with the solar panels perpendicular to the sun. 12 hours of strong sunlight will charge the internal battery fully. or You can attach the USB / DC charging cable into any 5V USB output socket (e.g. on your computer), plugging the DC (round) end into the DC input socket located next to the 5V USB socket at the bottom of the solarmonkey adventurer. Whilst the unit is charging, the LED will show RED. Once the unit is charged, the LED will show GREEN. However, if you need the Powertraveller universal travel cord for wall charging (sold separately from the Solamonkey), we offer it at $14.40 each. This universal travel cord works in over 150 counties around the world and has 4 different interchangeable head plugs you can use depending on what continent you are in, which includes Europe. I hope this answers your question, however feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have. Thank you! Lulu Shop Akari 713-869-4656

there is a USB cable to charge the battery, you can plug it into your computer to charge if you use a wall charger you would need an adapter for Europe

This is 5vdc usb in put. you have use the charger from 110v to 240 input and the usb output to charge this battery than you can use it in Europe any where.

You can charge through the USB or wall charger. The wall charger shows the output as DC 5v - 2A, with a small plug. You might be able to find a direct car charger but using a USB car plug should do fine.

No. It only charges through USB. However, USB wall chargers are available separately.

The lights are ran through an Outlet. I don't know if it will use international power.

Yes, you can charge it by plugging it into your electrical outlet or the USB in your computer.

It can charge from any wall adapter or computer (slower) with a USB port or micro USB plug. So as long as the source works with 220v you'll be fine.

Your going to need a AC to AC converter, Ireland uses 230V 50HZ AC but you need something capable of 110V 60HZ if you use the wall wart power supply. If you could find a transformer/adapter that could put out 15V 60HZ directly, that would be the best case scenario.

The power is switchable to European standards BUT many places will not have the proper wall socket so you should buy a world-wide plug adapter just in case - they can be had for under $10 and work with all your dual-power appliances.

This can be charged in a 240V AC socket. I took it on my trip to Europe and it worked fine.

The included wall wart charger says "100-240VAC, 100mA, 50-60Hz", so yes, it is an international charger that'll work anywhere. Most all chargers are like this now.It has a USA/ Japan style 2-prong plug on it (if you buy it in the USA), so to use it anywhere other than those places you'd need the appropriate adaptor to plug it in.As Stuart said above however, it charges with the standard 5 volt USB, so you can get a "USB to Micro USB cable" (available here on Amazon for less than $3.00). and just charge it off of your computer's USB port. Be sure to get a "Micro" USB cable though, not a "Mini" USB cable. The included wall wart charger says "100-240VAC, 100mA, 50-60Hz", so yes, it is an international charger that'll work anywhere.

Read the USB wall pack's voltage input range. If it is ends up being only 110/120VAC 60Hz, then you can use another comparable output USB charger (amperage needs to be equal to or higher than the supplied pack).The USB side of things is not an issue, as 5VDC is the USB standard, so a wall adapter with USB charging ports on it will work just fine, so long as it is able to supply enough current (amps).The wall adapter is relatively inconsequential and equivalent ones made for your power grid are easily found if this one ends up not supporting your power grid.

If there is, it's by no means accessible to the average consumer. The clear answer is no. You can charge this through its micro usb port and then have it ready to power an electronic off the (full-size) usb slot when needed on the go. If it dies, you get a new one. If that's a concern then get a better, more expensive one.

The voltage is 110,and no it can not be used in Europe without a special plug

Yes, you can buy a wall adapter (micro USB) that will charge it via a wall outlet.

I only charged it by USB and Solar. I don't remember having an AC adapter for it.
