the power for charger is 110/120 volt or 220/240 volt - if 110 volt is it necessary and enough a converter ? (sorry for my english i am italian) - tommaso martello

the voltage for the charger to charge the battery is 110 volts AC i wouldnt try any other voltage

Hello Tommaso...my charger indicates 110/120 volt only. Not sure I understand your question about a converter...my charger indicates .6 amp load so small converter would work. Hope this helps; we have been to Italy twice and loved it.

The charger reads: "100-240 V, 50-80 Hz/200mA; Output:DC 5.0V/890mA." Maybe this helps? Owner.

Most chargers will operate on either 120 or 220. It is the plug into the wall that varies.

It depends on the charger. The chargers has a built in converter. I traveled to South America where they also have 220 V and it worked with out issues. Just make sure that the INPUT is 110-240V.

We just returned from two weeks in Italy. We used the charger with a 100-240 V AC plug and adapter for the Italian wall outlets and it worked beautifully.

If you order the unit from Amazon.com, then the charger will only operate on 110VAC. If you order it from Amazon.co.uk, then the charger will only work on 220VAC. I think this is really silly, and is obviously a marketing issue rather than a technical one. The power supply should be a universal one, operating on 110-240V, like the ones used on most electrical equipment these days.

One thing to watch out for: Some chargers are 120V only - especially after-market ones. So always read the label carefully before plugging in.

The charger is only designed to operate on 120 volts. A 220 to 120 volt transformer good for 5 amps would work. Richard k.

Furthermore, we are wrongly informed you that you need converter but we confirmed that this battery charger can use 100V-240V. But you need plug for your country use. Thanks.

The charger is built for standard American household voltage, 110-120V. The plug itself is not polarized. You need a step-down transformer for 220V. I am guessing that once the voltage is corrected, you would not have problems, unlike say a hair dryer.

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 charger supplied has only the 120 VAC American style plug. You would have to have one of the voltage/plug converters to take with you, as you would for any other US appliance, such as hairdryer, etc.

The label on the charger reads "INPUT: AC 100-240V - 50/60Hz", so it should work on a 220-240V setting according to the manufactures. The batteries are not affected by AC voltage, all they care is about the DC output.

is what a 220 volt outlet? if you are talking about the charger input voltage the answer is no. the charger is for 120 volts.

No this charger is 110V only. Poor support. Better chargers on the market. I do not recommend.

Not a converter, but will need an adaptor plug for Italy's sockets. Look online for a picture of the plug formation for different European countries. Easy to find..e.g.The Container Store or other travel websites. There is a spot on the dryer where you can adjust it for the power...220 volts in Europe

No, the included adapter should be rated for 100-240V (mine is). Either way it's powered by USB, so even if the included adapter isn't made for 240V, then you could just use the charger you already have.
