charging in a foreign country Do I need to get a special charger or converter? Or can I just use an adapter for the prongs?

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.

The voltage on the charger indicates 110-240 volts. From what I have read the voltage in China is 220 volts so you would be covered there. I have read several different versions of the type of prongs necessary. Most seem to agree that in metropolitan hotels the standard American style plugs will work. Wisk I could be more helpful but I haven't been to mainland China.

This item uses a charging cradle that it sits in to charge that has an AC plug. It does not contain a converter that would be used for travel in a foreign country. I hope this helps.

Yes. You could buy a combination voltage converter/prong adaptor like these, which is what I use when I travel to Europe: http://www.enjoy-europe.com/hte/chap11/electric.htmBut I'm pretty sure Philips is a European company, so they probably make a charger/transformer with cord designed for your 220V and round prong system if you'd rather not bother with converters. If you don't buy a lot of American electric devices you could use it with when you're not charging the shaver, I'd get the manufacturer's device. Also, and I don't know this for a fact, should something go wrong, using an after-market converter/adapter might void the warranty. Yes.

It's a standard plug here in the states. So for it to be use over there, you will need a adapter to convert 110v to 220v.

If your outlet plus match North American (USA) standards you're fine, other wise you will need a travel prong adapter.r

Outside of the US, you will need an adapter. In other words, the part of this power strip that plugs into the wall will need to be plugged into an adapter first.

Joel, there's no issue with using the charger across different regions - as you stated, it just needs a necessary plug adapter as for example here in the UK we use a three rectangular pin socket rather than a two pin round one. But these adapters are widely available. Robert

Yes you need a specific adapter for the uk as they are shipped with us ones there was an instruction leaflet with ours advising not to use a travel adapter as this would not work and cause damage you need to find the right type of ac adapter that gives a regulated current and the voltage and current are in the box

You need a prong converter, for the plug end, but otherwise yes it works. I have used it in Germany and all over Africa

It worked for me. All You'll need is a plug adapter (NOT a converter) for the country you will be visiting. It charges right up. I've taken it to 4 different countries in Europe now without problem.

This unit comes with a power converter/adapter which produces the 17 volts necessary to run the unit. The adapter shows an input range from 110-240, but the plug is standard american. So, while I believe it will charge anywhere, you might need a plug adapter if used in a country where the outlet plug is not compatible with a standard american two-prong wall plug. I hope this helps

This is the standard for the wall outlet in the US. If you are to use this overseas you will need some type of converter.

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

You have to connect the charger into converter, otherwise it will not work. Your own charger, isn't included.

I would find out what the electrical specifications are for the country you are going to and then purchase an adapter if one is needed. Should be easy enough.
