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.

k thanks but any 12v charger will work on a standard aus car batt

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.
