Recharging G2 with 220 V

bfaust · 12th of April 2004 (Mon)

Has anyone had experience recharging their G2 with 220 V? I assume with what it says in the book that it can be done. I hate to cook my battery.

thanks

Just look at the transformer block you have and see if it says 110-240. If so, you're OK. I use the G3 and it works just fine. Besides, if you do it wrong, it won't cook your battery. It'll sure fry your power adapter, though.

I'm using a G2 and come from a place where our power outlets are rated at 220V. I have not encountered any problems yet with my G2. Yallcome is correct about saying that if the transformer block says 110-240 then it would be safe to use 220V.

The charger detects the voltage. . . just plug it in to either 110 or 220 and recharge.
