charging in a foreign country: Do I need to get a special charger or converter?

You'll just need an adapter for the prongs. The tag on the charger indicates it will work with non-North American voltages, so you shouldn't need a power converter.

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.

I'd take it to a local travel store and see what they recommend. Should just be a standard converter. We recently bought a universal converter for our upcoming trip to Europe! Have a nice time!

Everything you use the outlet for in Europe you will need an adapter. No need in a special one, just a simple basic adapter , that is what I used and had no problems.

If you are in Europe you will still have to use an adapter converter to use the charger.

Yes. You just have to keep it charged. Make sure wherever you are you have any necessary converters.

I had an email address for the manufacture of this device, so I wrote & asked about using it in Peru. Here is the answer: "That it can be charged in Peru and it won't harm the device. Anything charged via USB can be charged with any Voltage.The only thing that need converters are the heavy duty electronics and the devices charged via an ac outlet."I hope this helps. I have this charger & a larger one by the same company & both have served me well when I traveled within the USA.Jane Jones

The charger is rated for international power, so you could use it outside North America with the correct adapter for the country you are visiting.

The charger is a 110-240V and it has a built in 'remove current outlet plugs and insert your own'. Simply buy a travel adapter for Europe (http://amzn.com/B00MNL3LRI). Should work without issues. Brought mine to Sweden and used it in the hotel. Now - note, I bought mine last year, things might have changed ;) oh, and pleeease, while you travel, Push the volume button inside. I broke mine off by not doing this (still works just pain in da buttz).

The unit is a US standard 110v, so if your country's supply is not 110v you will need a converter.

I have used a similar unit in Turkey, Poland, Italy, China and Ireland. I charged my Samsung S5 cell phone and iPad this year and Ireland w/o any problem. As stated earlier, there is no need to change the converter to the 120 V. for these units.

The charger was only 120 as far as I could tell. There is really no "charger", you simply plug the unit into the wall, it's just a plain wire, the battery is internal. There might be adapters for using it in Europe, just like using any other plugged in item.

I just returned from East Africa and used it there with a converter. I always have one with me when I travel abroad. I don't remember right now, but I believe the instructions stated a converter was needed.

I have only used the wall charge up once here in the states, usually I just plug it into my computer to recharge which when overseas I have plugged in with a converter. . I have used it several times traveling.Hope this helps,Chris 2/915

Yes. They worked in Israel. In one hotel, they slipped out of the socket, so I had to make sure I paid some attention to my chargers. Generally, they worked well. Everything I used were dual voltage, so I didn't need a converter.

You will need to add the European adapter plug. I've used this both in Italy and in Africa. Very handy...with several charging options in one plug.
