We are going to England &amp; Scotland from the US. All our chargers are 110-240v. Will this work for us without an adapter? I like the surge protector.

No, this won't work. The UK uses a different plug type than continental Europe does. You should look for a plug adapter specifically for the UK.

We do not know the UK Electricity. This item is Power supply: AC100V 50-60Hz and Power-supply system: Alternating current system. If you use this item, you need the plug.

Not sure what you mean by that. I have it plugged into a regular outlet here in the US. In the UK the voltage is different so you'd need an adapter.

No, the included adapter should be rated for 100-240V (mine is). Either way it's powered by USB, so even if the included adapter isn't made for 240V, then you could just use the charger you already have.

The description states '150 watts travel converter wired with UK style plug for use in 220/240V countries'. I looked up Ireland in Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country) and Ireland has the same plug and voltage as the UK so I assume it will work in that country.

Hello Jin, The charger is rated for 100-240V 50/60 Hz but it only has the standard US (2) prong connection. So depending on where you are going, you still may need a converter.

It does not convert power from 120v AC to 240v AC or vice versa. It simply takes an input plug and converts it another type of plug. So say US plug style to EU plug style however the electronic unit you are hooking up would need to accept the host countries voltage. Simply look at the power transformer you are plugging into the adapter and nearly 99% of them will show 110v - 240v or some voltage range. Most phone adapters including the iThings and Androids accept a wide voltage range that you can certainly use around the world with the Tripshell. Again you just need to check the units power supply you are plugging into the Tripshell and be sure it accepts the host countries voltage. If it says 110-240v AC then you are good anywhere. If its a specific voltage then you need to look up the host countries voltage and be sure it matches the device being plugged in.

You would have to buy a power converter to make it compatible with the outlets in the UK. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

Hello. You are right, the charger comes without an adaptor to fit in the power plug... It fits the USA's electric standard. I think you can check in ebay to get the adapter, for example, something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Canada-Europe-ALL-Travel-to-UK-Hong-Kong-electrical-Plug-adapter-/141021285611?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item20d5860ceb

THE FOLKS WHO ANSWERED YOU ARE WRONG. Read the charger's 'wall wart.' Like most modern chargers, it has a built in converter and it takes input from 100V to 240V. The only 'adapter' you need is a plug that takes the U.S. two prong at one end and has the appropriate male elements on the other end so you can plug it into a Euro or Asian outlet. I go to Europe once or twice a year for extended stays and have done so for many years. I used to cart one of those heavy transfomer/converters around with me. I no longer need to do so, and you don't either. People should do their homework before they give misleading asnwers to inquiries.

It sounds like you will NOT need a transformer but just a plug adapter. The power supply of your item is capable of any input voltage from 100v to 230v, and 50 or 60Hz. The US uses 120v and 60Hz so it will work there. The only consideration now is if you have the right plug shape to plug into US wall sockets. I have moved between Canada/US [120v/60Hz] and Europe and Australia [230v/50Hz], so I have some experience with this. All of my electronics that are marked this way worked in these locations (TVs, laptops, most modern chargers). So you don't need an active transformer like this, you just need a simple physical plug adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Ceptics-Grounded-Universal-Plug-Adapter/dp/B0080SE6H2/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1413903131&sr=8-13&keywords=ceptics

I bought the item, actually the 2 pack, and send one to Europe. You do not need a voltage converter as the adapter indeed supports 100 to 240. Just needed a 1$ plug adapter for a european outlet.

I went to Rome, Florence, and Venice in April. Before I went I bought the 3 prong adapter that plugs into the hotel wall socket. I also bought a step down converter that has 2 prongs; it plugs into the adapter. Therefore I could power my devices with US standards. I think the adapter is designed for different configurations depending on your need. Just buy them so you can enjoy your trip with no hassle.

Linda, Personally I would not recommend this power strip for use in England. This power strip is rated for typical US input voltages of approximately 125 volts with a maximum amperage capacity of 15amps. It is not rated for 220-240 volt use. Additionally this outlet strip contains LEDs which may not survive if fed with 220 volts. From one adapter's description page: "...To use this plug adapter, your electric device must be 220-240V or 100v-240v..." Any devices or power blocks you plug in over there need to be capable of handling up to 220 volts. Stay safe and enjoy yourself !

Read the USB wall pack's voltage input range. If it is ends up being only 110/120VAC 60Hz, then you can use another comparable output USB charger (amperage needs to be equal to or higher than the supplied pack).The USB side of things is not an issue, as 5VDC is the USB standard, so a wall adapter with USB charging ports on it will work just fine, so long as it is able to supply enough current (amps).The wall adapter is relatively inconsequential and equivalent ones made for your power grid are easily found if this one ends up not supporting your power grid.

yes it will although you have to note that the voltage (presuming that you're traveling from US to UK) in UK are 220V. So be careful when using certain electronics.

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.
