Voltage for charge ... Can I use 220V supply for the charger - In Europe?

Hi did you ever find out if the charger would take 220v - 240v as electrical AC supply? thanks

YES!! I just received mine today and had to verify that I can take the charger with me to Europe. The FR-500 can take 220V. Both the user manual and the charger clearly state that it can adapt to voltage between 100V and 240V and 50/60 Hz. Of course, you'll need an adapter to plug it into the outlet, but it CAN handle the voltage.

Yes you can. I recently took my Philips electric tooth brush to Israel which uses 220v and has the same charger as this product. You can see on the charger itself it is printed 100-230v approx.

I bought mine in the US. I looked at my charger and it says 120V, 60Hz. But I've had other products where someone that knows can go into the product and change the voltage so it would work. I had a couple of things changed from 240 to 120. I don't know if you can do it with this.

I would not try to use it in Europe. Instead, I would buy a similar model that runs on the European voltage standard. Otherwise, you can ruin the device -- even with a voltage converter.

Hi , I do think is ok to use it in Europe , I just check the charger and it dos say that is ok from 100-240w . Europe is using 220w . So I do think is ok.

No. Need transformer or something like that. Because in UK is 220 - 240. If you can, buy things without charger or if you know how change the voltage in charger then buy it.

The charger that came with mine has a 110VAC to 18VDC, 1100mA converter. I suppose you could swap the converter out for a 220VAC.

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.

Nooo, the charger acepts 110V, if you have 220V you must use a converter from 220 to 110 hope this helps!

I'll try to answer your question two-fold. The battery charger says that the input is only 120V ~60Hz, 0.100A and output 0.330A. I would be very careful to plug it in the international power adapter, because there is no safe switch between 120V and 220V (like in computers or similar electronics), plus you might not get the appropriate amperage input. So the bottom line is, I would probably use the European version of this product.

Well, I haven't used mine in Europe yet, but since is says Input: AC 100V-240V 50/60Hz on the plug and comes with a European plug adaptor, I'm assuming its good to go. Just to state the obvious, I wouldn't plug this into 220v US, but 220/240v international should be fine. I have a ton of travel chargers for devices and batteries and everything with the 100V-240V 50/60Hz rating on it has perform flawlessly overseas.

The plug for the charger is a 110v plug and works here in the US. I don't know if there is a 220v version available or not.

Should be no problem - power supply/charger works on 220v here in South Africa - you just need an adapter to allow you to plug in the US style plug into your British style power socket.

The charger that comes with it says that its suitable for European voltage. You might want to need a simple fit to size socket adapter depending on the country. Actually the out connection is the standard 5 volt USB which means it can be charged off of a USB socket.

The supplied charger is only for 120V. However, having taken similar products to Europe, if you supply a 220V adapter that has a 12V DC output around 300-500 mA, you should be okay.

Most of the time you don't need to convert voltage. USA voltage is 110/120 while the UK (where I was) is 220/240 and I didn't convert any voltage. Check the power converters for the stuff you are taking. It should say on it if it works for both. My phone charger, macbook charger and razor charger all work at 120 or 240.
