Is this actually a level 2 charger? The reviews are mixed. I have a chevy volt, what will the actual charge time would be using 240v 20amp outlet

This works as both level 1 and 2. If you use NEMA 6-20 plug, for example, it will operate as level 2 and take 3-4 hrs to fully charge Chevy Volt (I am also a Volt owner)

You need to request them to make it 240 with a proper 240 plug. Nema 14-50 is the most common 240 plug used at RV parks. I had one that worked just fine on my Volt. It took roughly 4+ hours to charge from a depleted battery. This long charge time is a limitation of the Volt's anemic 3.3 charger and not this unit's charging capacity.

yes it will charge the volt in 4.5 hours. when you order it order it with the 240 volt plug you need. yes it is level 2 charger. if you have questions about the plug email them. my experence with the evi is using it nissan leaf

It will work as either a L1 (120V) or L2 (240V) with your VOLT. With a 240V, 20A outlet, with the unit set to "16A" mode, your VOLT with a fully depleted battery, should be fully recharged in about 3 hour and 45 minutes.

This vendor sells the same charger on ebay and here is what he says: " This battery charger automatically adjusts to power sources between 110 volts and 220 volts, safely allowing the user to charge a battery without worrying about voltage source variations. " Actually this is probably incorrect for several reasons, but these chargers usually operate on AC voltages between 100 and 240 VAC. And the DC range is usually 12-24 VDC. Of course, we need somebody to actually read the label data on the back of one of these chargers and tell us what it says.

Yes the charger works with 100-240v AC. You made a converter plug to convert the normal 2 terminal male charger adaptor( that we are have in N. America) to what is required in the country you going to use it in.

Hello Vincent.. This is exactly what the backside of the wall charger says... Input: 100-240V 0.25A 50-60HZ / Output 12V=0.833A... Does it help?

For this model of charger it is. Other chargers and such may have different power needs, but for the most part, with stuff like this, it's going to be 120V. Any model that plugs into 240V will reduce power before going into the battery.

I was in China everything there is 220, Worked fine! I checked and I have the same model number as this one you listed, if you read on the charger it says Model: ETA-U90JWS, Input: 100-240V~50-60Hz, 0.35A Output: 5.0V, 2.0A input is 100 - 240V that means it is a Global use charger. BTW ALL UL list products need to have the voltage specs listed on them - both input and output. This is the best charger i have owned, fast and bullet proof I know this was not where reviews go....

The short answer is 'yes'. The charger plugs directly into a 120v outlet, and that is how I use it. It appears that there is an adaptor that plugs into the charger, and then can be plugged into a 240v supply. I have had no use for that, and do not know how universal it may be. But the charger says it can be used for either voltage.

As far as I know this is as powerful as can be installed in home. It requires a 40 amp 240 v service. It uses a sae j1772 plug for the car. I presume this is std for all electric cars. I charge a Nissan leaf and when I plug it in my car shows it as a 6.6 kw charger. I am totally satisfied with the performance. No trouble so far.

It is a dual charger. It can use 110 ac or a usb connection. It is not a car charger unless you have a 12 volt dc adapter with a usb plug in or you can charge it through your usb connection in your computer.

I am not an auto-mechanic. I purchased this charger to charge a 12V Marine-grade battery. The battery was completely "dead" but was only a year old. There is a deep cycle-recondition selection. I chose that and it took a full 3 hrs to go through the cycle. It charged the battery, which is now going on 5 years old and STILL re-charging on only the standard charge. I hope that helps answer your question.

I use it on a chevy volt, draws 1300 watts on 110 volts and 3300 watts on 220 volts.. works well for my volt,2012 chevy volts max out at 3.3 so it may work differently on cars that allow higher charge rates

No. This charger has to be wired to 240 volts source.It is more powerful than 110 volts, And cuts charge time way down.

This is a Level 2 charger. Refer to the owner's manual of the Kia EV to determine charging times with different sorts of chargers. More than likely, that car can only use Level 1 (120 VAC) or Level 2 (240 VAC) chargers. The difference in charging time between 120 VAC and 240 VAC is much less than 1/2 as long. If the car takes 20 hours to charge with a 120 VAC charger, it will take more like 4-6 hours to charge with a 240 VAC charger. If you do not have that car yet, you can usually download the onwer's manual from the manufacturer's web site.

This is the 220 volt model which will completely charge my plug in Fusion in two hrs. they do make a 110 volt model which is the same as the one which came w/ the car. Buy this one , it is worth the moolough.

Sorry. I own the 20v charger, so I can't say for sure. But this guy appears to know: http://www.amazon.com/review/RUIK8KD34MA4E/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B006MVRKHW

The output voltage on the charger I have is 2.8 amps DC (nom 2.8 A---) whatever that means. I have a 12 volt battery and so far it's working fine for me. It is a 1 hour battery charger. Hope this helps, Duane

this is a 24volt charger. I think you need to find a 12volt charger to meet your needs.
