Is the charger dual voltage? (ie 110V-220V) I'm travelling to Europe and want to charge a spare battery without taking a voltage converter. Thanks!

The plug is the standard U.S. 2-prong version. The input spec says "AC 100-240V~50/60Hz 0.15A". I hope this helps.

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

Thank you for contacting us. As we just checked, the charger you referred can handle 220V.Please rest assured to use it. Please keep us updated and be assured we are always here to assist you.

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.

Yes, it IS dual voltage. I'm not sure about using it in Europe having never traveled.

It is 120 Volt. There is no indication in the manual to the capability of 220V. The Charger states: 12 Volt input, and 6Volt output. Which is kind of normal. Sorry.

It is both a travel charger comes with a Euro style plug adapter for the standard US 110 Volt plug but it also has an adapter to use with an auto 12 volt system. The reason I purchased it was for extended trips in the western desert where I might not be near an available 110 volt supply for weeks at a time. It has worked very well and I intend to purchase a second one as a backup charger and to have extra batteries when I am backpacking for several days to a week. I have a 4 outlet adapter for the car so could charge 2 batteries at a time. When really low it takes a while several hours to recharge. At home I put the battery in over night and it is ready to go in the morning another reason for me to get a second charger. When I am doing a long shoot I can change after a few hundred photos so I do not take a chance of having a "Low Battery" at a critical moment like during a wedding where I set up and do the before photos and then take the Portrait shots of the members of the wedding Party. Then change the battery and shoot the wedding and the reception. I might also change memory cards even if not needed so I do not have everything on one card.

I don't live in Europe but my understanding is that the charger can work on 220v as well.

You mean for using in Europe? No. But you can get an adapter. That part is inexpensive. However, it is NOT dual voltage. I wish it was.

No this charger is 110v only. My batteries don't hold a charge for very long. I got what I paid for.

It does not come with one but they are very common and available in electronic areas of stores. It takes a 6V DC. Look around your house -I had 2. The voltage information is stamped on adaptor. Dan N is right about the voltage. The manual states the voltage you need and as I said above the voltage info is stamped on the charger. I did buy rechargeable batteries and a battery charger for when they are on the go.

You don't need to buy the separate charger. The free charger that is included can be used at dual voltages. All you need is an adaptor for the European outlet.

This vendor sells the same charger on ebay and here is what he says: " This battery charger automatically adjusts to power sources between 110 volts and 220 volts, safely allowing the user to charge a battery without worrying about voltage source variations. " Actually this is probably incorrect for several reasons, but these chargers usually operate on AC voltages between 100 and 240 VAC. And the DC range is usually 12-24 VDC. Of course, we need somebody to actually read the label data on the back of one of these chargers and tell us what it says.

Some things have "dual" voltage (most camera and phone chargers, some travel hair irons etc.) and you will find that info somewhere on the device or instructions. If you are not sure, its best to plan on using the converter.

The charger was only 120 as far as I could tell. There is really no "charger", you simply plug the unit into the wall, it's just a plain wire, the battery is internal. There might be adapters for using it in Europe, just like using any other plugged in item.

It comes with a "travel adapter"-type charger, Model MCS-01WT, with the following specs: Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.2A Output: 5.0V, 1.2A So, basically, you can plug it in wherever you go. It also comes with an additional plug adapter, but I don't have it on hand right now to verify its type, though I might wildly guess it's for European plugs.

Almost all battery charge at a voltage rate slightly above the Battery voltage. This is necessary in order to ensure that the batteries "accept a charge". As far as Europe is concerned, they use an entirely different Electrical system than that used in the U.S. You will not be able to plug-in your battery charger directly into their outlets without some type of converter acting as an interface
