Rayovac Univ Battery Charger input Voltage 240? Hi, ANyone knows whether this charger can be used in 240 volatge countries?

No, the Rayovac Universal Charger can only accept 115V AC input. You need to add a small (under 50W power) AC transformer to use this charger in 240V countries.

I don't know what the other guy's talking about, because I have 3 of them, and they all come with their own charger. It's 100-240V input with replaceable AC prongs. Output is 12V, to one of the standard round plugs. This makes it charge much faster. It's not 5V like USB! So yes, it should work fine. In the worst case you'll need a simple travel adapter.

Yes the input on the charger says 100-240v input. However, the plug is a U.S. two pin plug so you would need an adapter.

The charger rating plate says Input: 100-240V, 50-60Hz. Should be OK wherever you are.

The charger is rated for 110-240 V, but the cord is designed for use in the US, Canada, and Mexico. You'll need an inexpensive plug adapter to use it in Ireland. I like the purple ones available here on Amazon. I've used the charger many times on 240 V in Europe, Africa, and Africa and it worked well.

It has an ac adapter and the prongs twist off so that another type can go on. The charger is rated to accept the 240 volt input. I would thing you would just need to change the contacts.

The label on the charger reads "INPUT: AC 100-240V - 50/60Hz", so it should work on a 220-240V setting according to the manufactures. The batteries are not affected by AC voltage, all they care is about the DC output.

your batteries will either melt or the adapter will burn out. this is not going to work. I suggest you either find a similar high voltage batteries in europe to use, or if it is that important, then spend money on an actually worthwhile converter and not this cheap plastic knockoff that's only use is an oversized plug. also, check your adapter. make sure what it says. if it says 120-240 v, then you're gold. if not, then at the very least stay away from this thing.

I don't know. I use 120V, as is routine here in the U.S.. I haven't tested it with 240V. Good luck.

If you read in the description, it says "1 mini rapid charger (110/240V)"I used this charger in Germany and it worked fine. You will definitely need a piece that allows you to plug it into the actual 240vac plugs because it only includes 220/110 type plugs.

Yes, the charger will work on 100v to 240v. I have used it is Europe. The Wasabi Batteries are excellent.

The voltage in Kuwait was 240 and it worked great!!! I'm sure you will have no issues with it at all!!!

The only charger for the 18v battery that I use is only 120V, and I am not really shure if there is a 240 charger available or not....

Yes. The charger is rated for 100-240 volt 50/60c AC, and comes with a European-style 2 pin 240 volt adapter that fits on the 120 volt blade plug built into the charger. You might have some trouble finding a 240 volt European-style receptacle, however.
