Is the battery charger able to be connected into a AC230 volt system, or is a transformer required to reduce to a lower voltage?

The charger unit is a Li- Ion charger. Model : LX-084120. Input voltage 100-240 volts; 50/60 HZ.; output voltage to batteriesis 8.4 volts at 1.2 amps. This information came off the charger label.

Info on my charger: M#UD3514120030G, Input: 120v 8.5 watt, Output: 12vdc 300ma, Class 2 transformer, IV output connector size

I am not sure but I read the voltage drops once the charger is connected to a battery. I would assume the company thought of this before selling this product.

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.

the voltage for the charger to charge the battery is 110 volts AC i wouldnt try any other voltage

Based on the specs off the transformer (the one I own), and the type of connector going into the charger, I'm inclined to think it would require finding a 12-volt adapter that would convert 12 volts to 2 inputs (going into the charger) of 18V and 20V respectively in a single cable. The connector plug on the back of the charger is a DIN plug with 6 pins (looks like a round PS/2 connector for mouse/keyboard). Transformer Specs for Charger: INPUT: AC 100-240V 50/60Hz 1200mA OUTPUT 1: DC 18V 2000mA OUTPUT 2: DC 20V 100mA PINS: Output 1: Pin 1, 2 Output 2: Pin 3, 4 Gnd: Pin 5,6,7 Easiest route (just my opinion only) would probably be getting either an inverter, modified sine wave inverter, or pure sine wave inverter for the 12-volt plug in your car, then just plug the charger into the inverter via the transformer/adapter. My personal preference for electronics is a pure sine wave inverter, but these are a lot more expensive than a regular inverter. However, their power is cleaner and more stable (safer for electronics, in other words). I haven't researched finding a 12-volt car adapter that converts to 2 output channels of 18V/20V via a DIN 6-pin male connector, so I'm not sure how hard it would be to find that type of item in order to run this in a vehicle. My initial thought is that it would prove difficult to find/do.

Hi,Thanks for asking! If you have a "System 4 or 5" the AC adapter requires the use of a standard 230 V AC source.

On the body of the charger, it says "Input: 100V-240V 50/60HZ". I have only used it with 110VAC, so I can't promise it will charge batteries correctly at 240VAC. But Wasabi seems to think it will. By the way, it worked great for me at 110V.

No, the inverter will only invert battery power to 120 Volts AC. You will need a separate charging unit to recharge your batteries.

the battery charger is 100-240V so you are OK. You just need a plug adapter (no need for a power converter).

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

Absolutely not!!! Look at the plug. You'll blow up the battery and melt the charger if you try 220v

The AC charger that came with my unit only works on 120v AC. Toshiba may make a universal voltage supply charger.

The charger comes with an interchangeable universal voltage adapter which can slide out and be replaced by a regional adaptor. You will need to purchase the regional slider separately,

It should be connected to the AC charger at all times when not in use. The AC charger is designed to automatically reduce the charge to a small trickle charge after the battery is topped up to maintain charge and prevent charge-discharge cycles which reduces battery life. I have mine connected since two years. It consumes a small 1 watt load while trickle charging.

The charger supplied has only the 120 VAC American style plug. You would have to have one of the voltage/plug converters to take with you, as you would for any other US appliance, such as hairdryer, etc.
