Travel Technology - Nintendo DS Lite power

Hi all

I am sure that this is somewhere on the Nintendo site (probably in large bold lettering), but I can't seem to find the answer there...

Will the DS Lite work on both 120V and 240V? Will a Canadian purchased machine be chargable if I give it as a gift to someone in the UK?

Thanks

It works in both. Check this

110-240

I just checked my DS Lite charger, and it's only rated for 110V. That said; it's fairly easy to find a DS charger in the UK, but that may be a little rude to gift.

On many sites you can find check ($10) USB chargers for the DS, that may be an option to gift along with it.

That isn't the original adapter for the DS. The included one is 110 only.

I can also vouch that it is 110V only. Which is stupid, but oh well.

If you are sending this gift I'd just purchase a UK adapter and include it. They are cheap enough, though I wonder about the quality of some.

Euro-plug, i think this is made by Nintendo:

ok quick question, will my ds be ok to go through the xray? i know its stupid but i'll be mighty hacked off if it's broken, cheers

That isn't the original adapter for the DS. The included one is 110 only.

Interestingly, the original power adaptor for the Japan market (100V) is a 100-240V adaptor, as is the one from Sydney and I believe the UK.

Seems like only the US market is being shortchanged in this one.
