I thought this unit was pretty heavy but I used it in Germany to charge my DS and it worked perfectly. Not sure if the voltage is the same in India as the European nation, but it worked for me. Hope that helps

I agree,it worked wonderfully in Europe, however, I don't know what is used in India. This may be a question for the company.

Jyothi, I suppose it would work in India. It says it will work anywhere. However, this is quite heavy, and you may have to ask the company diretly about its use.

It will work. However, if your AC adapter for Nintendo DS Lite (or DSi) is the only appliance that needs 110V, there is a simplier solution: get a USB charging cable with Nintendo DS Lite (or DSi) connector. Then you can recharge through any USB power port.Gino 2 In 1 Charge & Data Sync USB Cable for Nintendo DS Lite DSi NDSL/NDSi

i wish i could help...my unit stopped working 3 weeks after purchase and has not worked for the past ~month. i will most likely throw it in the trash can. the manufacturer said they would send me a power adapter. i never recieved it. i am thinking twice about ordering anything from amazon as they appear to not care at all for their customers. it maybe time to revisit the brick and mortor stores. sorry for the venting. i wish could have helped

Well, the one I bought came with a AC Power meant to be used in US. By the way, both AC Adapters, the notebook and the tablet one.

The charger is a 2-piece device. The power adaptor is a box like device that plugs into a standard NA outlet. The box provides a USB female connection. The second piece is the cable which provides a USB connection on one end and the phone connection on the other. So you can use this cable with the power adaptor or a computer. To use this charger as international you will have to purchase a travel adaptor separately or just use the cable provided to charge it from commonly available USB ports

How can we use it in India? It says that this has a 200W power. Do I need a 200W Invertor to work with this? Problem is that the 200W invertors in India are huge (about 12 inches) -- so kinda defeats the purpose of lightness.

I have personally used it in the US, UK, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Israel, Mexico and Japan. Had no issues at any of these locations. Just needed the right power adapter for each country :)

Hi, I tried that as well, got a response which basically pointed me towards some FAQs which didn't answer the question.I ordered one when I was in the US, and the voltage seems correct, so it should work with just a normal adaptor, but I haven't tried it yet. I think it's 110-240V.

This is the right adapter for US devices to plug into Australia/New Zealand power outlets - I've used many of them myself in Australia. But remember it does not convert the power. Some devices (e.g., hairdryers) will also require a transformer to convert the local power to something the device can handle, otherwise it will burn out (danger!). US devices are built for 110 or 120 volt input, while NZ will be supplying at 220 or 240 volt. Read the fine print on your device's power supply cord or owner's manual to see what type of voltage the device is expecting. Other devices (e.g., laptops and mobile phones) are more flexible and accept 110 to 240 volt input, so you'll only need the plug adapter for those devices, but read up on your models to be sure. In short, use plug adapters for physically getting your plugs into the outlet, but also take a 240 to 120v transformer (step down transformer) for any devices that expect 120v input when the supply is 240v. Happy travels!

Bob H. I wish that I could help you but I've only used it in the US. I like this product so much a purchased a couple more and have talked a few of my friends into purchasing some. I also have the larger power strips with the usb things. Good luck finding your answer. I'm very sorry that I couldn't help you!!

you would have to get an adapter/transforner, Indias power is 230v 50Hz, while US power is 120v 60Hz as well as an adapter from the US standard 3 prong to one that would fit your recepticle. Also as the India power system does have issues, a good battery back up device with surge protection is highly recommended.

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.

Probably because it's dual voltage. I just used it in India and Singapore. I just needed a outlet converter cause outlet shape is different but no voltage issues. Outlet converters are cheap.

As a past buyer I can't answer your question directly, but can tell you that I bout the converter so I could use some of the power suppliers from my earlier Thinkpads on my new one, and it works perfectly. It allows me to use one of the many "chargers" from my only computers on my newer Thinkpad. In fact, that is why I bought 2. I didn't want to be traveling again and not have the right charger/adapter.

Yes it works in the US, and yes, it will charge your controllers until they are full, then it stops. I own this item, it works great!

It'll work as a standard 110v adapter I guess will do fine if your laptop charges over a usb, quite not common since laptops come with special power transformer adapter that goes straight to an outlet not via usb but you should know better how your laptop charges.Will do fine as a car or wall traveler and works with smaller devices as cellphones tablets iPods ipads that charges via usb. Really helpful to get rid of two specific chargers for each device thou.

As far as I understand it, you have to buy converters for any electrical items that you want to use in another country. You may also have to buy the correctly shaped electrical plug that will fit into the outlets, which then attaches to the the converter. You should put this issue into a search. I did it recently for a different country I will be traveling to. You'd be amazed at all the configurations that other countries use.

As long as your adapter has the standard outlet that plugs into the wall, you will get power.If you're worried about safety, then I would get a power supply/surge protector in whatever country you're in, and use the adapter to plug into that. When I was in Europe, though, I had no problem using these adapters for my cell phone, kindle, and laptop (all American) on German and French grids.
