    I got a fatboy dt-901 wireless charger - it was only 7 euro on amazon.de so thought what the hell. It was supposed to come with a UK charger (says so in the description) but I got a European 2 pin plug.

    given it was so cheap, I don't want to return it. I've asked amazon.de to ask .co.uk to send me either a plug or a full replacement, but I doubt they'll do it - the same charger is £55 pounds on the uk site.

    Is this cable compatible do ye think?

    Dont use a crappy thin cable like that, if you put in 2A you'll only see 800mA or so at the far end and thus only 400-600mA out of the charging pad, will take forever to charge.

    Just get a TypeF(EU) to UK plug adapter for a dollar and glue it in place.

    Just to note that USB power wouldn't be sufficient to run it even if you were able to get such a cable; the charging pad requires 12V whereas a USB port will only provide 5V.

    got a uk adapter that encloses the 2 pin and works perfectly.

    Also got a full refund from Amazon.de
