I live in Switzerland. Electrical plugs are different than in the US. Will I still be able to charge the battery?

The battery charger than came with the kit I purchased was LC-E10. It has a typical US two prong plug. Input:100-240 Volts AC, 50/60 hz, 12va-17va. It also contains the warning "See instruction manual for use in countries other than USA." The note in the manual indicates that it is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power source. You may have to plug adaptor if your outlet doesn't accept a standard US type two prong plug.

The battery charger plugs right into the outlet. If yours are different you may need an adapter. Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Yes, you just need a adaptor. Forget about voltage - input is 100-240 Volts AC, in Switzerland output is 230V, so it's possible to charge the battery.

You will need an international 220V - 110V converter. The US battery charger requires 110V input.

I disagree with one of the answers. If you buy the adapter C, you won't be able to use it in Switzerland as they use type J.

The charger has the two small prongs so you would probably need the European voltage plug converter but I think they are reasonably inexpensive and easy to obtain.

We would assume one could charge the battery with an adapter if the current in Europe was not as it is in the USA.

Yes, just make sure you know which is positive and negative on the battery. The charging leads are adjustable. The only issue I have with the charger is that it is frail. I've bought 2 so far.

Are you sure the battery is in fact charged. I had the same problem as the charger supplied was for American use(125volts). With 220 Volts the charger got damaged. Although the light kept blinking it did not stay on all the time indicating that the machine was not charged. I got a new charger for European use(220volts) and now the Karcher light stays on and the machine works.Hope this solves your problem.

You should be able too, as when I bought the charger there was a USB port and an EU adapter.

You will need an adapter and a converter for whichever country you are going to. The charger is "American 2 prong" for 110, but you will need an adapter and converter from 220 for any thing you need to plug in in Europe. I am going to Switzerland in Sept. and got adapter and converter from Amazon.

I don't know, looking through the manual, there's no mention of charging in Europe. So I'm assuming the answer would be a "No."

The plug is a standard American plug. If you have a converter it would be fine.

It comes with standard 110 volt plug to charge the battery pack, with an adapter I would think it should work

You can if you purchase or own a converter. The plug itself is standard American. I'm confident that the power specifics fall within the accceptable European range.

It will not work in europe unless you have a conveter. You can buy them at radio shack. If you are renting a car and have a car charger you can actually take your usb cable and plug it into the side of the charger and put the battery in it and it will charge. i have done this. This is a awesome product

Hi Mark, the charger says 110 or 240v so with a US to Europe adapter you shouldn't have any problem

Sorry, I don't know. It didn't work in Switzerland. I try it in several places.
