Does this require plugging into a wall socket to power it? if yes, can I use it in Australia where the voltage is 220-240 Volts? Battery type?

it does plug into the wall for power--- the type we use in the US but im sure if you have a converter for your wall outlet you can use it just the same

I purchased it for use in China but did not need it as all hotels had 120V outlets. If it is accepted in Australia it will take any appliance. If you're going to be in hotels check to see if it's neede.

No, it plugs into a 110 volt outlet either in the home, garage or shop. it requires 110v power sourece.

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

No batteries. AC power only. As long as you have an international power adapter it should work regardless of geography.

Yes. It comes with an adapter that can take 120v/220v. However you may need a special pin to plug into the wall.

I use mine in NZ, 240v. Comes with as external power adapter with figure 8 style socket, so you can use a local power cord, eg I use my PS3 power cord. Muz

I live in Texas. Voltage here is 110 so I doubt it will work in Australia without some type of adapter.

One of the images has 100-240V on the power pack. And I successfully used this in Australia (240V) with just a regular plug converter.

It comes with a cord that has the US plug type, but you can easily replace it with a cord using the Australian type. Probably the one on your current power source, else buy one at any hardware store. It will take 250 AC.

It is set up for a standard 110v wall plug. It does not seem to use much power so to make it portable you could use a 12v battery (even a small one like the ones on kids toys could be strapped to the side) and a power inverter.

I guess it depends where you are in the world. In Australia, we run on 220V/60Hz. Obviously, for me it works just fine. Some other countries run on 220V/50Hz. The battery itself is independent of the AC Adapter, which is the part that plugs into the wall socket. When you order your battery, safer to be sure that you specify your country. Hope this answers your question.

NO....you plug it into the wall socket rated at 110 volts or so. Good luck.

Hi Miguel,I live in Australia and have 240 volt power. I think most of Europe also have 240 Volt. I had to get a different adaptor, as the one that comes with it is for 110 volt only. This is a bit unusual these days, normally you would just have to get a plug adaptor and that is it. I actually had a plug pack from an unused mobile phone that matched the power requirements (5 volts 600 milliamps from memory) so it didn't cost me anything.I hope I have answered your question, but perhaps it is something Wahl could look at.

Australia uses 240 volt 50 hertz. This model is 120 volt. I can call Kitchen Aid in Ohio to see if they sell them prewired for Australian use.

It can be plugged into a standard 110volt wall socket. No electrical work required

It requires a 5V power source. Since it doesn't come with its own usb wall plug, that all depends on whether you have a power source with a micro usb cable that will provide that and is suitable for 220V.
