Can I use 110v to charge this power station? it doesn't work even though the light keeps blinking. What do i need to do?

Yes you can use a 110v. I am not sure why it is not charging however I usually leave mine charging for an hour minimum. But it does hold the charge for a long time.

I used to inflate my sailboat friends trailer tires ( 2 ), that was parked for at a storage facility, before towing it. Tires where not flat. I inflate the right one first. On the left tire, half way inflating stopped pumping. Now I start it , runs for 5 seconds and stop. Not a good buy for me.

I use 110V to charge mine with no problem. Sounds like yours may have a problem with the charging device.

John, yes you can charge the unit with standard 110v household current. That is how I kept mine charged. But as it has been sometime since I've had this unit I don't know how to solve your blinking light issue. When my unit failed, I ended up taking it back to Costco for a refund.

The unit is intended to be connected to a 120 volt Alternating Current power supply. The internal charger should keep the battery charged as long as the 120 volt system is energized. Check to see if the circuit the light is installed on is turned on. If the unit does not charge the battery it may be defective. If it is still in warrenty, contact your supplier for assistance. If not, purchase and install a new unit.

This is 110V version....so yes you need either a passive or active converter

Hi, deeply sorry for replying late. Mine came with a 5 Volt...1000mA (- o +)I don't understand why yours is missing the power adapter, but it shouldn't be expensive. You might find it in amazon or ebay for a cheap price.I hope you find the correct one, you don't want to burn your converter

instructions say power source is only 120V so I believe you need a converter.

I can't find information on that anywhere on the monitor or instructions manual. So my guess would be that it's only 110V. The customer service number is 1-800-268-6237 if you'd like to call and confirm.

No, you Can not!!!You need to plug in some equipment that transforms the energy to 110volts

Yes, you will need to connect it to an electrical outlet. It connects to the power box that comes with it that turns it on and off, and that is what needs to be plugged into the 110. Hope this helps.

In order to charge 220 v outlet You need to do some handy work.(1)Cut wires from wall power supply to charging cradle.(2)Replace wall power supply with the one:INPUT 220V AC 60 Hz;OUTPUT 20V DC 400 mA. Make sure You correctly connected wires the same way as before:positive and negative.It will work.

Printed on the item it says "Supply Voltage 120V." It takes a common AC/DC adapter to charge it which it marked "Input: AC 110-240V, Output: DC 4.3V." The item is Model #QG21 if you would want to Google it for more info. That's about all I can come up with. Hope that helps.

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

Instructions say to not connect to any power source other than 120V - so I don't think so. You can try contacting the company - mthtrains.com

you need a outlet or you can wire it direct but it has to be 110 120 volts to work. Batteries will not work. hope this helps you. Jack

It's power station just plugs into any grounded 110v household outlet. As to the voltage output of the charger itself I really don't know, But it does do a fairly rapid recharge. The charge amperage is low I'm sure, but just to be safe I'd never touch my fingers to the charging tabs of the docking station.

The power brick the comes with the unit is only 110V, however you could purchase a dual voltage replacement from Radio Shack. I charge from 220V using a transformer.As for the laptop, most laptops have a dual voltage power supply so I'd be surprised if you couldn't charge it using this.

i just checked amazon. they have quite a few 220v to 110v converters. i would think something like this should work fine. here's one of them. there are more expensive ones too. it's not recommended to leave it charging for a lot longer than the suggested charge time (they say 4 but maybe up to 8). it could get too hot or damage the battery.

To date I have not used mine. I am hoping to change 110 to 240 power, but not sure when I will get time to work with it.
