I see it gives out 240VAC. (1) Is that not a problem in America as they use 120? (2)Is it 50 or 60hertz? (3) Do you need 240VAC to charge it?

(1) America uses a variety of voltages, 120, 240, 277, 480, 585, etc. However common household appliances normally run off of 120 or 240 depending on how they are wired. This provides both. (2) It is 60 hertz. (3) You don't charge this device. The device is made only to convert 24 Volts DC from batteries to 120/240 Volts AC.

Yes, it does charge with any voltage from 100-240, 50-60hz. Interestingly, the guide that came with it says "plug into any 120V AC outlet" however it then says "An adaptor plug may be necessary ... in some foreign countries." The actual charging plug clearly says 100-240 VAC and 50-60hz, so as long as you have the right plug adaptor, it should work fine. The Philips phone # for any/all questions is: (800) 243-3050 and the model # for this Multigroom Plus is QG3360.

I don`t know. It means in which country do you wanna use, 50 or 60 Hz, check on the charger cable, could be 110-240v

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.

It is rated at 100-240v but the charger has a blade type plug on it. The charger comes with a two pin adapter so I guess you can use it.

Mark: This company markets internationally. I am in the US and have 60 hz. I would go the web site and check, but I think that there may be a switch on the unit for either. I have found this unit to be highly reliable. I have been using it for a year and my batteries have been maintained at 13.7 V to 13.9 V. I am using the old standard lead acid batteries on a sailboat and charge a bank of 3 of the deep cycle batteries. One bank shares one 10 amp feed and the battery I used as house battery has the other channel. It is important to install the battery charger with stand-offs about 1.5 inches from the bulk head to allow circulation of air for heat dissipation. This unit has been reliable and trouble free. It has been on line 24/7 now for over a year. Hope this helps. James D.

The unit claims to have an internal universal power adapter capable of getting power input from 110-240v and 50-60hz enabling it to be used anywhere in the world. This infomation is in the instructions as well as printed directly on the back of the unit. I cannot answer for the 240/50 power but it does work just fine on 110/60 in America.

Ignore the "120" responses. Like most electronic chargers, it works with voltages between 100V to 240V (so it works with 120V) and works with 60 Hz (cycle) current like we have in the US, and also with 50 Hz (cycle) found in some foreign countries. The response by Michael Silano is "spot on"!

it has a IEC cable on it. just looked and on the back panel it says 115-230V 50/60hz. so if you have a IEC with the correct plug for your country you should be all good. mine shipped with a US IEC plug. a plug adapter alone should work.

I am looking at the charger and it reads input 100-240v 50/60hz 0.3a. So I would say it would charge at 220 volts. I haven't tried it at 220 my self

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 googled this and found a manual at Home Depot (on line) which says "* Use the charger only in a standard electrical outlet (120V/60Hz)" Does that help?

The one that I received from them was 120V / 60Hz only and had a US 3 prong plug. I called the company and the rep. told me that they don't make a 220V version.

Bad word choice using "charging" because it only runs from an electrical outlet. It is dual voltage so can run on 120 (US) or 240 (other countries)

It says "100-240VAC 50/60Hz" on the back of the charger. Not sure if that helps. It has a two blade plug that folds out the back.

If you order the unit from Amazon.com, then the charger will only operate on 110VAC. If you order it from Amazon.co.uk, then the charger will only work on 220VAC. I think this is really silly, and is obviously a marketing issue rather than a technical one. The power supply should be a universal one, operating on 110-240V, like the ones used on most electrical equipment these days.

It's 100-240vAC, 50-60hz.You might need an adaptor for funky foreign plugs though.
