Can the charger be used in Europe with 240V?

I don't think so. The plug is for 120V, however, if there is a converter available to place between the charger and the 240V it should work that way. This is only a thought which might work

The short answer is NO. The European version of electricity is generally supplied at 220 volts and a frequency of 50 Hz. Officially it is 230 volts plus or minus 10%. Have a lot of respect for 220 volts. It can easily kill you if you plug the wrong thing into the wall outlet.Small 110 volt electrical appliances like radios and razors can normally operate with a 50 watt 220 to 110 volt step down transformer. This is a heavy little package of solid steel plates and copper wires. If your appliance is marked only 60 Hz, and not 50/60 Hz, you run the risk of burning up something inside even when using a 220-110 volt transformer. If your electrical device has a transformer in it, you probably should not bring it to Europe. Lower frequencies require thicker transformers. Transformers designed for 60 Hz operation can overheat and sometimes burn up when used in 50 Hz circuits.

The charger input is 100-240V. I used it in Europe and it worked fine. You'll just need a UK plug adapter.

Dear Doycho, its possible to use the charger in europe. the charger has a voltage range from 100 to 240 volts. It should be possible to use it europe, i hop this information helps. regards steven

It comes with a universal charger (100V-240V). But you will have to use a pin adapter for European outlet. Should be pretty inexpensive (http://www.amazon.com/Generic-EU-6PK-American-European-Adapter/dp/B0036VJ1OQ/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0R1SGK2YKZSZ3T1NT7J0)

Yes. The charger will handle european voltages. You will need to acquire an adapter plug (US to Europe). Several are available on Amazon. just search for US to Europe adapters.

I don't live in Europe but my understanding is that the charger can work on 220v as well.

The charger that comes with it says that its suitable for European voltage. You might want to need a simple fit to size socket adapter depending on the country. Actually the out connection is the standard 5 volt USB which means it can be charged off of a USB socket.

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.

The "Universal Charger" can be used with a country specific plug adapter as it is 110-240V.

On the bottom of the battery charger here is what is listed for Input: 120V~50-60 Hz / 50/60Hz 240W, so I would say NO it would NOT be usable in Europe with 220V.

No, the Rayovac Universal Charger can only accept 115V AC input. You need to add a small (under 50W power) AC transformer to use this charger in 240V countries.

The charger says input voltage of 100-240 v AC, 50/60 Hz. In fact, I specifically bought this model so that I can take it overseas and use it when I travel with my small children. So yes, I will use it in Europe with 220/240 v input and all I will need is an adapter to convert from a USA plug to a European plug (country dependent).

The units that we have for sale cannot be plugged into 240v - they are US Plug only. You can buy them from other vendors that are EU Plug or UK Plug.

Oh, one thing more........... charger can be plugged into any voltage between 100 VAC and 240 VAC so it can be used anywhere in the world where that voltage range is available. Just make sure you take outlet adapters with you on overseas trips.

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

You'll have to get an adapter for the plug, but the charger itself has on it "100-240V"

You should be able to purchase a converter to change your local voltage (240v) to 120v. I'd be pretty sure you could buy this locally in Europe.
