I want to buy as a gift for family in the UK & they've sold out over there so can anyone tell me: is the battery charger USA only or universal?

The UK supplies 220 volts at its outlet in homes, the charger is rated for 120 volts.

The battery charger is 100-240V but the input format is the american one, you only need an adapter. I don't know the voltage in the UK, here in latinamerica is mostly 220V and is working.Best of luck,Carlos

I got my sister in the UK one of these. The charger is rated 100-240 Volts, you just need the adapters for the different shaped outlets. So the answer to your question is yes

Because they are battery operated, they will work just fine anywhere. The only issue is the battery charger which is not multi-voltage, it is 110 only. But you can buy a 220v battery charger in your local country and still charge the batteries just fine. That is what I did. I went to my local dewaalt supplier and bought a replacement 220v battery charger for 18v batteries and it works just fine. You can also order a 220v charger on ToolKing.com but they don't have them in stock sometimes and I was able to get my charger cheaper locally.

Joel, there's no issue with using the charger across different regions - as you stated, it just needs a necessary plug adapter as for example here in the UK we use a three rectangular pin socket rather than a two pin round one. But these adapters are widely available. Robert

Hi,Thanks for the reply. I did some research and looked at some unboxing videos of the CG10. There I saw that the charger and the powercord are separate. If I'm right I only need to buy an european powercord in order for the charger to work in Europe.Thanks again!

Comes with its own charger model SAW04-14.50-400USA with output14.5VDC, 400mA. Many universal chargers can be used, as long as you switch the unit to the correct output value mentioned above, and use the corresponding matching plug that comes with universal chargers.

I don't know if UK version will work in US or not. You might ask the manufacturer.

The one I received in the US had the little EU adapter plug also, besides the US one that is built-in on the back of the battery charger unit.

I have the Dewalt 18volt batteries and just found out about a charger that fits them. It's called PoweriSite preorder on Kickstarter. Could be a great accessory when the power is out. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/463425404/powerisite-usb-power-from-your-cordless-tool-batte

The charger has a standard American oulet. You might could use one of those expensive adapters--you don't have to recharge very often.

Hello. You are right, the charger comes without an adaptor to fit in the power plug... It fits the USA's electric standard. I think you can check in ebay to get the adapter, for example, something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Canada-Europe-ALL-Travel-to-UK-Hong-Kong-electrical-Plug-adapter-/141021285611?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item20d5860ceb

You will notice that the charger is multi-voltage (100-240v). You can either get a local charger with compatible pin OR buy an Adapter. Search for adapters in Amazon. I am sure you'll find something that matches your need.

Well i went to radio shack and got the converter and extra plugs i needed for london...they worked on all my camera/video camera/battery chargers and portable dvd player. The only thing i had trouble with was hair straightner but anyways just look up power converter in search engine even here on amazon and that will give you some idea of what you need. Just make sure you get a converter and the plugs. Plus if you live close an electronic type store they can explain things alot better. Hope this helps

Did you try Bissell's website, I would start there. Radio Shack also has some universal chargers, it would just be a matter of getting the correct one with the right voltage.

Amazon sells (sold?) two varieties: one for battery connection and one for regular outlets. I originally bought the wrong one, but returned and got the one for regular outlet. [It is intended for European markets, but includes a converter to US outlets]

Yeah, it's the correct one. Sorry I answered a bit late, I don't check email until the weekends. Anyway, here's what the label on the charger says EXACTLY: BATTERY CHARGER Part No: 428626 Input: 120VAC - 60Hz 60mA Output: 15VDC - 100mA ~ Hope you enjoy your purchase and that I was of help.

The included wall wart charger says "100-240VAC, 100mA, 50-60Hz", so yes, it is an international charger that'll work anywhere. Most all chargers are like this now. It has a USA/ Japan style 2-prong plug on it (if you buy it in the USA), so to use it anywhere other than those places you'd need the appropriate adaptor to plug it in. As Stuart said above however, it charges with the standard 5 volt USB, so you can get a "USB to Micro USB cable" (available here on Amazon for less than $3.00). and just charge it off of your computer's USB port. Be sure to get a "Micro" USB cable though, not a "Mini" USB cable.
