Nintendo DS Charger - 110v Dual voltage?

Stinicker · 2013-06-01 14:05:56

Hi, My cousin is taking her family back to the United States for the summer and she asked me to look into the Nintendo DS charger. It only has 220v UK written on it but her little girl wants to take to the states this summer. Will she need a US charger for it? or can Nintendo DS dual voltage chargers be got in Ireland?

If it doesn't say 220/110 on it, & only says 220...then it's 220v only I'd imagine

Yeah, it pretty strange as most of these gadgets nowadays are dual voltage. I'll try order a Us 110v charger from the eBay in america.

It's only 220V, actually most of the 3rd party ones are 110/240V I have found

After the DS Lite Nintendo stopped doing multi-voltage chargers.
you'll need a step-down for the DSi onward, to go from 220ish to 110.
