Amount of power from USB same in the US&Europe (even tho US = 120V and Euro = 220V)? Safe to plug US kindle in via USB while in Euro via this device?

if you look in the reviews of (outlets to go power strip), you have a few flight attendants saying you can use this device over seas from america because they called up the company and asked. output for usb is always 5vdc. to answer your question...i guess yes.

Yes. I am international flight attendant. I plug everything ( kindle, phone, music ) into the power strip. All newish electronics can take either voltage . Older hair dryers or flat irons will burn up as they are only 110v. You will need a plug adapter. It is not a converter, but am adapter... You should look for one that has some depth to the pins. Many plugs in Europe are inset, so the depth really pays off. Travel sites, or Amazon I a sure have plug adapters for sale. Mine has plugs for Europe, Shia, etc. All in one.

I can't definitely answer about Europe, but this power strip has worked just fine to charge my Kindle and Ipad in Central America, and in Hong Kong. A colleague of mine has used the same power strip in Canada, Iceland, and Australia, with no problems. With 3 outlets and a USB port, I use this to power a laptop, and keep my iphone, ipad, and kindle charged, whenever I travel.

The strip worked well for me in Europe and on a river cruise with dual voltage appliances like my razor and IPad charger. I use a grounded european adapter plug to connect between the power strip and a wall outlet. Do not use 120 volt only US devices on 240 volt european current.

Most PC's and chargers limit the current to about a 1/2 amp. That's due to the USB 2 spec. There are a few, such as Apple, Kindle, and others, that charge at higher currents. I would have no reservations using this extension at 2.1 A. Go for it.

The wall charger plugs into a regular US electrical outlet in your home or office. The other end of the cable is inserted into your Kindle device.

The output power is 5Volts. Input 100-240Volts. 50-60Hz. 0.15A. It is UI listed C & US and, of course, Made in China. It is the same as the original plug that accompanied the first Kindle model. The only difference is that it doesn't have the Amazon logo printed on it. So far my Kindle Fire hasn't blown up.

I don't think this changes the current, just the shape of the plug. However, most electronics these days have convertors built in. When I used these to travel to Europe, I only plugged in items that were stamped "Input: 100 to 240v." That included all of my plugs (phone, laptop, tablet, etc.), so I had no problems. The hardest part was reading the teeny-tiny writing on the electronics.

Iphone and kindle im sure u can use this, but the laptop i not sure, i need check AC power charge for you laptop, thus think maximum is 75Watt

I have no idea, it worked fine in Greece, in US and in a yatch (Italian made). I used it with a kindle, an ipad, iphone 4 and iphone 5 and we charged up to 4 devices at a time.

I take mine to Europe all the time and plug it in without a power converter. I simply use a plug adapter for the outlet. On the bottom, it is embossed with "110-240V". If yours is similarly-embossed you should be able to use just an adapter. If yours says "110-120 V", you'll definitely need a power adapter as well.

Actually, I do believe that Kindle can't be used outside the USA. You might want to check with Amazon about that before buying one if you're going to use it overseas!

The device charger says input 100 to 240 V just like a lot of low voltage electronics (laptops, etc) but the prongs are flat (US) so adapter will be needed for European use

Yes,very well. we used both of ours throughout Europe, so we would not harm our 2 iPads in their current. they are great for iPads. full charge will charge a 20% iPad and 20% iPhone at the same time. i used it also on our kindle fire hdx and Nokia phone and worked great too. used Europe current with adapters to recharge, better to lose a 50 dollar charger than a thousand dollar iPad. you'll be pleased.

Yes, it's 110V. Same as here in US. Most of Europe is 220. If you're not sure, buy a converter. They're inexpensive and easily available both online and in electronics' sores.

Assuming 220 volts in (not watts - that's the draw of the device(s) you plug into it)...USB ports will have the correct voltage - it will be convertedOutlets will be at the input voltage (220V), so anything you plug in would have to be able to use or convert that voltage with a US Plug.

The charger says input voltage of 100-240 v AC, 50/60 Hz. In fact, I specifically bought this model so that I can take it overseas and use it when I travel with my small children. So yes, I will use it in Europe with 220/240 v input and all I will need is an adapter to convert from a USA plug to a European plug (country dependent).

I keep my iPad, iPod, Galaxy s3 phone and Asus tablet plugged in when not in use and I have not had a problem with overcharging. I don't have a Kindle, but I would assume it would be OK as well. The GadgetSys is the best charger ever.....

Hi - I'm Barbara and use it in cigarette lighter outlet in car. Sorry. Voltage is a mystery to me. Works great in car on Kindle, and has an extra USB port to do two things at one time. Amazon's Product Description talks about Voltages down in middle of page.

Sorry I am not sure of the voltage. I use it to power my kindlle reader, iphone, ipad, and have had no problems at all. Actually love it's versatility.
