Help! What do I need in the UK to use lazerer charger?

[rivageeza]

Just received my laser in the post today, and to my dismay the charger I got from lazerer just has 2 prongs on, I was under the impression as it was being shipped to the Uk it would come with a UK adapter. I really want to use the laser but need to know what kind of adapter I should get asap.

Kind regards

'evenin' Chris.

Something like this will do the job : Euro to UK mains Adapter

but to be honest you wanna throw that charger away and buy a decent one

um, i'm pretty sure the Lazerer charger is us version, 2 flat pins? i may be wrong, but thats what my lazerer charger is like. if yours is 2 flat pins, go to any hardware/DIY store and ask for a US to UK travel adaptor, or alternatively, you could ask for a EU to UK one, if your have 2 circular pins

Thanks for all your response's. I called into Asda living and bought a travel adapter.

Not charged the battery yet, the lazerer 18650 battery that came with it had a bit of charge in it, I've not got a tester so I don't know if I'm getting the full power out of my laser.

Should I run the battery down before I charge it or should I just stick it on charge now? It doesn't come with any documentation so i don't know how long it should take to charge.

I want to get a decent battery and charger, in the UK so any suggestions on a charger? Found an AW 3100 something 18650 battery which gets good reviews.

Kind regards

Chris

I'd charge the battery now if it was me. The red light will turn green on the charger when its ready.

Ultrafire WF 139 is a decent 18650 charger available in the UK - costs about the same as one of those AW batteries you mentioned - which ARE excellant btw.
