      dual chargers suck all they do is chage bolth in 30 min so its like chargeing 1 at a time but if you dont wanna tach it they rule.

      i allways run mine dv off my car batt. but as long at its 12 volts it will work.

      if not i remmeber 1 of there chargers comes with curant limiters for useing aus. euro ect. wall jacks i’ll look for the link for you

      NO! :shock::shock::shock:

      All the “current limiters” in the world WILL NOT SAVE YOU. :dead:

      UK/Oz household AC is 240V.
      US plugpoints supply 110V.

      You need something that can accept 240V. If you try plugging something
      made for 110V into a 240V powerpoint, you’ll get expensive FIREWORKS. :evil::evil:

      Need to find something with “dual voltage”, that can accept both 110V & 240V. Some things are automatic, the rest need a switch flicked to the correct voltage.

      Don’t know how many RC AC chargers are dual voltage, probably not many. The only automatic one I know of is Novak’s “Black Box” AC adaptor for their line of DC chargers.

      Yup! 240V is what Oz uses.

      Note some countries use 220V, you’ve got a fair chance these will survive working on 240V without any problems.

      Avoid plugging anything 110/120V into Oz mains. It WILL blow up, simple as that.

      or you can get creative take a aus. car batt. charger and hook your charger up to that so you can plug it into the wall.
