I have a BMW i8. I'm looking for a travel charger at 120 volts. Do you see any problems using this charger?

As long as you aren't using this in the rain, this should work just fine for you.
1816181
Yes it should work fine. Also contrary to the other answer it is rated IP54 and should be Ok in the rain

Mine broke within a few weeks. Sent it back for repairs. Worked once. Failed after that. Gave up.

While this is OK for charging BMW i8, you may be unlucky to have a defective unit. It was my case so that I had to return the unit to the manufacturer.I purchased TurboCord after all and it works beautifully. Quality costs.

Not to my knowledge, I sent 2 of these units back, first one failed and the second failed as well on 110V. This charger might be OK for small batteries but not worth it for any car or truck battery. I would not recommend it at all.

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.

This is the only problem. The machine is awesome but you need to have a transmitter if you want to use the charger in 220 V. Otherwise the charger will be damaged. We use them on cruise ships and some only have 220 V. A transmitter is quite cheap but you have to carry it with you and it is about 3lbs extra weight. Still we think it is worth it.

The electrical adapter is for both 110 and 240 volts, convenient for travel where they use the 240v. I have been very pleased with my charger and I have used it many times already.

I use my charger an my car charger, and I haven't had any problems. Worked fine for me

The charger works on 120 or 240 volts, 50 or 60 cycles. You don't do anything to switch from one voltage to the other.

just look at the specs for your charger. if the output VOLTAGE is the same, it should be ok. Lower or higher amperage is fine, tho lower amperage= slower charging. If it doesn't give amps, but only watts and volts, as long as the Volts are the same, you're good to go- tho, again, lower watts= slower charging. That said, the car charger matches the specs for my 2011 macbook air, and i think it STILL charges slower than my regular charger.

Should work in Europe--like prior models--charger works on 100-240 volts AC, 50-60 Hz.

The outlets are 120 volt, 60 Hz. Most chargers can run on 120 to 240 volts. For 220 volt small motors and lighting you would probably need a transformer. Also, European grids run at a lower frequency (55 Hz, I think). So running at 60 Hz may affect the motor's speed

I gather you are looking at the underside of the charger where it says Type 1 10.8v -18v NI-CD-ION charger. If that's what you mean, the "v" stands for voltage. In other words this charger can be used to charge NI-CD batteries that range from 10.8volts to 18volts. My battery type was the 18v size and the charger works quickly and adequately for it. I imagine in might even be faster if your battery is of lower voltage. That area is also where it states 120v AC (meaning alternating current) 60Hz. Hope this helps.

i found info for the bmw is has a 18kwatt battery my cmax has only 7.6 an it takes 2.3hrs too charge,butthats at 3.2 kws your charger in the bmw is rated at 7.6kw. i dont thing is charger will chrge at that rate. you need to checkit out. tomk

Yes. The charger uses a switching power supply that is rated for an input of 100-240 volts. The only thing you will need is an appropriate adaptor or power cord. Becuase it's a switching power supply, it will work with pretty much any convential frequency source, e.g. 50/60 hz.I converted a unit to work on 12 VDC by bypassing the high voltage side.

The charger is labeled for use at 120vac, 60hz, 2A. There is no indication that it would work at 220vac without an adapter.

The charger is rated for 120 volts AC,and plugs into the wall.In the United States we have 120 volts AC.The car adapter is for cigarette lighter and is for 12 volts DC...se hoon Yun if your in Japan the 100 volt AC should work,but may take longer to charge

I believe the charger is made to operate on 110-120 V input. If the input voltage is higher the output will be higher and damage the unit.

My charger, same model, only works on 120 v 60hz. I have used this heavily for three weeks with step-down transformer from 250 v 50hz to 125 v with no problems and reliable charging.
