Sorry, posted in the wrong forum before....
Hello, I am new to electric and I am about to buy a 12V DC charger. To set it up into the regular wall contact I understand that you will need a power supply that converts the Volts or something(?) And I live in Sweden where we have ?230Volts instead of 110 in the US. Now to my question: Can I buy a DC charger in the US and set it up with a power supply from here that converts from 230V. Or do I have to have a US power supply (I have a 110V socket at home as well)? Because both of the powersupplies converts to 12 Volts and the only difference is where it converts from.
So, is it possible to buy a US DC charger and use a Swedish powersupply?
Wondering a little about the duratrax ICE charger. What batteries does it charge and with how many amps? Do you have a cheaper alternative that is also good? Oh, they say on towerhobbies that you need atleast a 13 Amps PS but they cost like 100$ and what happens if you only have a 5 Amp power supply? Which functions will work then? Also, what skids are included with the ICE charger?
