Vistalite nightstick charger help
Hi everyone, this be my first post. I've ordered a Vistalite over the
net fron the states, it's arrived and of course has a different charger, rated at the US 120 volts as opposed to our 240. Where do I stand as far as getting the charger to work? I;ve got an adapter so it'll fit in the power point but I don't wanna use it just yet, as I've no wish to toast it! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ben Go to a travel shop and see if they have a 120/240 adaptor - you may have to order it as the 'normal' would be 240/120 in Australia (going from Australia to US would be 240/120 change), but ask first. -- Alan Erskine alanerskine(at)optusnet.com.au Is Lewis Moran the type of father figure John Howard wants for Australian children? |

Ben If you were thinking of getting another battery anyway (I did the same thing), then the easiest way is to puchase a battery/charger combo from somewhere like phantom cycles (around $79 + delivery). Obviously it will mean you have 1 charger for 2 batt. but how often do you need to charge 2 at once anyway?!?

Dick Smith will sell you a transformer to convert 240v to 110v.
I think the cost is about $40 troyq wrote: benmatt wrote: Hi everyone, this be my first post.

'nother suggestion is to return it to the supplier as it's not compatible with Australian current. -- Alan Erskine alanerskine(at)optusnet.com.au Is Lewis Moran the type of father figure John Howard wants for Australian children?
