Does one need to use a voltage inverter if recharging with the proper wall adapter in mainland europe?

Input voltage as indicated on the included power cord/plug is: 100-240v at 200ma 50-60hz so it should work with the proper adapter.

Not sure about "inverter". I thought an inverter was for going from AC/DC or vice versa. You supposedly don't need a "converter", IF the device is rated for 110/220. It should say so on the device or on the charger somewhere.

You will need an adapter for the plug, but that's all--no voltage converter needed.

Not sure what you mean by that. I have it plugged into a regular outlet here in the US. In the UK the voltage is different so you'd need an adapter.

I personally have not had the chance to take it back to Europe yet but I have taken back a lot of equipment such as my Numark 4trak turntables and other devices which have not had any issues regarding voltage differences that are found in European outlets versus American outlets. I cannot guarantee anything but I really don't think you will need a transformer to convert the power.

THE FOLKS WHO ANSWERED YOU ARE WRONG. Read the charger's 'wall wart.' Like most modern chargers, it has a built in converter and it takes input from 100V to 240V. The only 'adapter' you need is a plug that takes the U.S. two prong at one end and has the appropriate male elements on the other end so you can plug it into a Euro or Asian outlet. I go to Europe once or twice a year for extended stays and have done so for many years. I used to cart one of those heavy transfomer/converters around with me. I no longer need to do so, and you don't either. People should do their homework before they give misleading asnwers to inquiries. THE FOLKS WHO ANSWERED YOU ARE WRONG.

Yes you need a specific adapter for the uk as they are shipped with us ones there was an instruction leaflet with ours advising not to use a travel adapter as this would not work and cause damage you need to find the right type of ac adapter that gives a regulated current and the voltage and current are in the box

Yea, this is most definitely not dual voltage although it says so. I took it to Europe under the assumption it was. I also used a converter and it still died on me.

I have only used the wall charge up once here in the states, usually I just plug it into my computer to recharge which when overseas I have plugged in with a converter. . I have used it several times traveling.Hope this helps,Chris 2/915

This is the standard for the wall outlet in the US. If you are to use this overseas you will need some type of converter.

yes if you have a Paris or Madrid plug. The plug you plug into the wall with the one I bought was for England. The plug for France, don't know about Spain, has a different plug configuration that plugs into the wall. Google plug types for Europe and you will see what I mean. Amazon does sell plugs and. Don't know if this model comes in France "plug mode" You would need to check.

The inverter is probably unnecessary. If the base unit works off of a "wall wart" then you can substitute a 12 DC universal power adapter (cheap - like $15) that is both cheaper and much more efficient than a 12v DC to 110 AC inverter.CyberPower CPUDC1U2000 3-12V 2000mAh DC Universal Power Adapter with 2.1A USB Charging Port

It is dual voltage, so it can be used safely in both the usa and in Europe. I just came back from the UK and it worked perfectly with just a uk plug adapter. The actual plug shape is the standard usa plug, so if you're going to Spain you will definitely need an adapter so that you can stick it in the wall there

Excuse my ignorance about which voltage is used where, but the charger works in the states but would require a converter for use in Europe or elsewhere

It comes with a 110 VAC wall transformer. You would need a step down transformer to and plug adapter to use it in Europe.

Most computer, cell phones, cameras charge systems operate on any voltage from about 100 to up to 240 volts. I don't know that anybody uses DC distributed power in Europe so the adapter should be all you need. You should find in the small print at the back or bottom of the power unit for your device the input voltage range and 50 or 60 hz. I hope this information helps.

Absolutely. I took my Surface to Europe last fall and used it in country after country without any problem with voltage, but you will need the plug adaptors, of course.

As long as your adapter has the standard outlet that plugs into the wall, you will get power.If you're worried about safety, then I would get a power supply/surge protector in whatever country you're in, and use the adapter to plug into that. When I was in Europe, though, I had no problem using these adapters for my cell phone, kindle, and laptop (all American) on German and French grids.
