Can the charging cable be changed? because the one pictured has a US socket and most of my chargers are UK sockets

If you can match the barrel plug connector's size and polarity, you could probably find a replacement. It looks to be a standardized plug size, but it's deeply recessed in the charger pad so there may be some issues getting it to fit properly. The included charger does not specify polarity of the plug, but the output is 12v at .75 amps. It does say it accepts up to 220v so if you could source a UK to US plug adapter, you could plug the included charging cable up to that.

It can be changed but you need to find a UK cable compatible to the Vu. The plug is quite strange, similar to a Nokia plug but smaller. I've never tried to use the Nokia cable though.

No the charger it comes with can't be changed but you can purchase a us wall socket with a UK outlet so your able to plug in the US charger.

Carefully look at pin config. in the illustration. Pin size etc. as compared to existing charger Carefully! The appear the same at 1st glance but there is a diff. Obvious when noticed

power cords like all made in USA electronics will need a UK adapter. The cable to connect to your computer is what it is and is universal USB connector. Don't see the problem?.

This charger plug is made for US market. If you travel outside of US, please use a converter as the outlet is different from US.

No, at least not with the one that I was shipped. The connectors where different (not as shown), so I swapped them out. Excellent charger though, it'll keep your batteries in tip-top shape for a long time.

The one that I purchased from Amazon.com is a US plug socket. You need to check in Amazon uk website, if any

The connector that plugs into the charging unit looks similar to the connector used to plug a charger into a wide variety of rechargable devices. (like a portable vacuum cleaner I own) but I would be very careful that whatever panel you try as a replacement it would need to have the exact same current and voltage ratings as the compatible one you are attempting to replace. (no they are not all the same) I do not know the exact part number for the connector (and am not going to try and figure it out) Hope this is helpful Patrick

Mine is not, it fits the standard us outlet. I have ordered four of these in the last year and not had any issues.

The charger that came with mine has a 110VAC to 18VDC, 1100mA converter. I suppose you could swap the converter out for a 220VAC.

Hi Phil, For some reason when I order this Unit I was sent a device that was set-up for International / Other Countries. The Unit came with an AC Adapter / Charger that had the plugs that are common in Europe, included also in the box was an AC Converter adapter to match and mate with the plugs used in the USA. This caused a whole series of problems for me because it wouldn't re-charge the Battery beyond 65%. When I spoke to Sony the service people told me to do an entire Software System Upgrade. I followed their directions and it did not solve the problem. Only until I used my Computer to Charge the Tablet did I determine that the International version charger along with the US Converter was the problem. I have requested from Sony that they send me a normal USA version AC Charger Unit and its coming in the mail. So my advise to you if you're in the States is to make sure they don't send you a Unit that is sold abroad (i.e. Internationally).

Not exactly,you will receive a usb charger in the box it came with so you are good to go with that, the wall mount charger for the usb cable is with an american socket (and maybe more countries) but as i live in europe i just use my usb port on the computer or another usb wall chargher like iphone/samsung. Hope this helps.

This merely changes the pins on the plug so that it will fit in a British-type socket. Most camera chargers (but not all) will work on 50Hz or 60Hz power at 110-240 volts. You can read the side of the transformer / power supply / charger. If it says 110-240 Volts, then you should be good. If it says 110-120 Volts or similar, then it will not work (and trying to use it would cause damage).

The one I bought from the Amazon US site only comes with a US cord, but the unit is marked as compatible with UK voltages and the cord attaches with a normal "figure 8" style connector that come with other kinds of devices/chargers. If you're like me, you'll have a bunch of them lying around. You could, of course, also just use a plug adapter.

Greetings. The 2-prong plate is not removable. And this charger doesn't have the option of swapping out the front with a EU 2 prong plate.Thanks for your advice.
