Some of the comments have me confused. Does this adapter work in plugs in the UK and also South Africa?

I believe UK has same outlet as Singapore and Hong Kong. It also works in other European countries, like France, Italy, Germany, Swiszerland. Recently, I also use it at New Zealand, which means it should work in Australia as well. Not sure about S. Africa.

If you are going to UK/Ireland/Hong Kong, YES. If your device is from UK/Ireland/Hong Kong, NO.

If you look at it you can see that it does not have the right plug for the UK. Why don't you buy this from Amazon in the UK when you are there????

I can't speak to either on personal experience. Specific locations may vary within a country. Try <www.walkabouttravelgear.com> as one source of information for adapters world wide. Refer to their " world-wide electrical index". Do be sure to check your appliances for compatibility with 220V power. That is a universal in Africa. Most new appliances are, but will burn up if they are not. Transformers and converters are available, and not cheap for reliable ones.

Yes. I have used the charger in both the UK and USA. It will work if you have the plug adapter.

No, this won't work. The UK uses a different plug type than continental Europe does. You should look for a plug adapter specifically for the UK.

We used this adapter in Botswana and S. Africa but not other countries. As you may know, there is quite a bit of inconsistency in these countries in terms of their outlets so you may want to contact the facilities you are using. We used online VOIP to minimize overseas calling costs as well as email but not all folks over there like to use email. Good luck

Should be no problem - power supply/charger works on 220v here in South Africa - you just need an adapter to allow you to plug in the US style plug into your British style power socket.

Yea, UK plugs work. The entire thing goes into a US outlet, so you'll need an adapter for wherever you're going. I bought a cheap travel set + this, and I was set for my entire trip.

It's not actually a UK plug. It's the universal two prong plug that travel adapters use. It comes with the US adapter but it is a large plug. I bought one last year with a mormal US plug but I bought one in Feb. 2015 and it had the adapter. I guess it's a crapshoot as to which you get.

Amazon needs to rewrite this. What they are trying to say is that you can choose the appropriate universal adaptor for the country you are going to and it will universally accept plugs from every country except South Africa. In other words as long as you are not from South Africa you can use thee adaptors.

the strip plugs into a USA receptacle as pictured - yes you will need a PLUG Adaptor to change it from US to UK .... the strip will accept all Europe / UK plugs.... just get a plug adaptor from amazon... they're like $5.00 - and they're great to have, especially if you only want to use it for one device, so you don't have to pull out the strip...

I can't give you that information from firsthand experience, but since it performed equally well in Zambia, Botswana and South Africa, I would expect that plug will also work well in Namibia. Worth googling to find out if Namibia and SA have the same plug configuration. Most resorts also feature multiple outlet power strips for visitors from abroad.

Yes, the outlets there are different. Be sure when buying to buy the right the correct adapter, they range from continent and even country sometimes.

Although the adapter has a global voltage compatibility, I guess you may find the plug does not fit the electrical socket in your new house. In that case ,either You can buy a converter from US plug shape to UK plug shape, which cost less, or you can buy a transformer with EXACT the same output parameters, which cost a little more. I am lucky because socket in China is compatible with US plug:)

Yes it does work. I've used it in the UK. I've just plugged it in on all three settings and the plug fits on all three. However, I have not used it on the European setting.

Here is a customer service line. Try it and see if their adapters are compatable in European outlets 1-800-326-6247. This is the best I can do for you, I hope you get the answers you need. This is an excellent product.

Hi Shonda, We are so sorry that we do not know what Africa uses. The adapter works for EU (Schuko France & Germany), Italy, Switzerland, US, UK, AUS, China, etc. If Africa use the same one as these countries, it works. Thank you for your interested in our products. Thank you. Regards, Battery Superstore
