new style chargers - anyone using them in UK

[nigelh]

 

As I am getting the batteries replaced on my head unit I have been advised to get one of the new chargers

I am told that they are 110V not dual voltage as my original one.

In the UK we are  240V so I will need a step-down transformer.

Is anyone in the UK  or Europe doing this?

If so what wattage transformer do you use or does anyone know what wattage the new charger puts out?

 

Thanks....nigel

Hi Nigel, 

Actually the 2nd Gen Chargers DO autro range from 110-240V , they just need a plug adaptor ( $5-$10 ) you can get from any travel or hardware store. Here is a link to them on our website. We have lots in stock.

Hi,
I am using the new type of charger with no problems at all. I bought a 99p adaptor from Poundland so you don't need anything fancy for that. I'm using two new batteries that I installed myself and everything is fine. I think it takes about 1 hour for the light to turn from red to green on the charger and the Ergomo is then good for several days.
Hope this helps you out a bit.

Thanks for the two replies.

I must have been mis-informed or mis-understood  the new charger's voltage.

 

A simple 2-pin US to UK 3-pin adaptor will do the job

 

Thanks again.
