    Default USA DS Power Supply

    All, I should know this lol but i'm at work and dont have me DS to hand.

    I've just offloaded one of my units to a guy at work. The USA Model is the charger 110v inout only or does it handle 220v too? Just so I know wether to tell him to guy a travel adaptor or a stepdown to charge it.

    Thank you.

    I use a UK GBA charger on mine, so its probably fine with a travel adaptor.

    i'm looking at my AC adapter for the US one now and it only says 100v on it, not 100-220v which i'd expect if it was international. So i'm not sure i'd want to risk just using an adapter. Get a gba charger or a usb charger i'd say

    Sorted it now, the silly git blew the adaptor by plugging into the mains doh!!!

    He's bought an SP adaptor now and is happy. I knew they were 110v, I did warn him!
