* according to the specs. A customer says it comes with a large battery(?) but the specs say it uses a USB plug in to charge.
* USB plugs (that are charge plugs) just plug into any standard USB (5VDC) charger.
* The USB charger will plug into the wall outlet power that is available in the area. Albeit 110 or 240VAC.
* Taking a charger from USA will not fit into a European outlet as they are very different. (though plug adapters are avail. I don't recommend them unless they were supplied with the USB Charger AND specifically states the dual voltages on the charger ID plate. )
* European chargers looks like; https://www.amazon.com/European-Adapter-Niluoya-Universal-Charger/dp/B07CBSFPV5/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1531557442&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+charger+european+plug&dpID=41%252BXpN9gxAL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
* But you will be able to charge at any USB standard charging port without using your original charger. (Though you may need to heed the "USB3" ports that may overcharge your device. You will need to contact support to get specifics on what power level (USB 1-2-3 types) you can safely use.

* When in doubt, use USB with 300 ma rating. (which is a very safe slow charge at a low power rate. It won't heat up anything at this power level.)

By power pack do you mean the actual battery or the charger unit that plugs into the wall to charge or power your Palmcorder? Either way, bot are available on Ebay as universal units and you should make sure the charger or battery pack is for or a 6 volt capacity. Many chargers for these Palmcorders are labeled as VHS-C / 8MM, that should work with your camera. Universal battery packs are made reversable, meaning that you can flip the battery to accomodate several other camcorder models. I've replaced my batteries and charger for my Panasonic Palmcorder from Ebay.

Ez test to determine if stator wiring is ok. This test works on generators that have two sets of 115v plugs and 220v plug. Use a 12v, 1amp ac power supply ( smaller ac power supply should work ok ). With generator not running, apply 12v to one of the 115v outlet plugs. Now verify 12v output voltage with meter at another 115v outlet on generator. Also verify that there is about twice the voltage at the 220 v outlet plug (should be about 20v - 24v) . If the adjoining 115 v outlet plug has no output or very little voltage or if the 220 volt plug has no output, most likely stator is damaged or breaker is off. If the stator is shorted voltage reading will be very low and power supply will heat up. If stator is open, there will be no voltage at second 115v plug or 220 v plug. If voltage is ok at the other outlet plugs as per test above then most likely problem is with voltage regulator, or brushes not making contact or armature winding open or just needs to be energized. Unplug the 12v power supply after test to prevent it from overheating. Most generators have two 115v windings that together power the 220v plug. When you energize one of the windings with the 12v power supply, the second 115v winding will be energized also and give you a voltage reading about equal to 12v. You will not damage the generator with this small voltage being input thru the plug. Good luck

you will need a reducing transformer 220volts to 120 volts, you can find one at Radio Shack or Fry's Electronics., European countries uses 220volts, and the plug configurations are different from those of the USA.it is recomended to take one of these transformers with you when you travel abroad.

Hi Troy,

Without seeing the ports of the car and the plug of your charger, it would be difficult to diagnose with any certainty. I do have a suggestion however. Your note suggests that other devices do not cause the fuse to blow when they are used - it is only the charger for the phone. Since the charger works in other cars, it is probably not an overload condition due to a defective charger, but more likely a mismatched set of contacts between the plug and power port in your car when the two are mated. Some cars have slightly different sized power ports that can be either too tight or too loose for some plugs. Too tight ports could be causing parts internal to the charger's plug or car's power port to short together and blow the fuse.

We can get around this be using a different plug. The easiest way is to find a cord set that will plug into your car's power port and provides a simple extension for 1, 2 or 3 outlets. These can be found in auto parts stores and the automotive departments of stores like K-Mart, Sears, etc. Some examples look like these:





Insert the plug into the power port - and check that the fuse does not blow by checking the fuse - not by plugging something into the the outlet on the cord. If the fuse remains good, then it is safe to assume that the problem with your charger and the car's power port has been eliminated, and the car's power is available at each of the outlets of the new cord.

Try plugging the charger into the outlet of the new cord. If all is well, the charger should be working as expected. What we have done is removed the charger / car power port combination from the equation, by providing a different combination to do the same thing - but without the same physical connection that causes the fuse to blow.

You could achieve the same results by changing the charger plug under the right conditions - but many chargers now a days have circuitry inside them that change the car's 12 volts to something different. If you can find the voltage out of the charger and are able to match it with another - it must be the same voltage, polarity, current and phone power connector of course - it should work, too. You must be absolutely sure of the power requirements and your rewiring - if not, stick with the addition of a cord described above.

I hope this helps & good luck!

So two different devices, each with their own charger, don't work in different power outlets in different rooms? How about if you plug a light into the same outlet. Does the light work? Does it dim when you plug the charger into the laptop? If so you have a bad electrical system, either a loose wire or bad outlet.

If the power supply that came with the unit says only 120V, you must use a voltage converter with the unit. If you plug the charger into your 220V system without a convertr, it will damage the charger

Get new batteries and make sure the charger is charging by checking the voltage at the charger port located under the front of the joystick. With the charger plugged in set a voltmeter to 200vdc and plug the leads into the two outter holes of the charger port. You should be reading 27-32 volts if the charger is working correctly. Without the charger plugged into the wall outlet you will be reading the battery voltage 25-27 volts fully charged Hope this helps you

sounds like one leg does not have power. Could have a bad plug.

The problem is not with the batteris, but with your charger, you have to make sure it can take 220V or you will burn it. Look for a switch on it to change from 110V to 220V.
