UK iPod Touch Wall Charger OK for US iPod?
« on: July 02, 2009, 01:03:22 AM »
*sigh*

I have a First Generation iPod 16GB Touch.  I ordered what should have been a USB to AC converter plug for my iPod to use in the US.  The company sent me this instead.  To use in the UK.

I have 2 questions:


1) can I use a UK iPod charger with my US iPod? 
2) can I just plug this charger into the UK to US plug I use for my UK mobile phone?

The cord says on it:

UK Travel Charger for iPod
DAPPIPODTC08-9125
Input: AC 100-240V 50/60Hz 0 .12A
Output: DC120V 500mA ±5%

I know I can return this cord and get the US one like I ordered, but if this cord will be functional, I'd rather just keep it so I don't have to worry about charging my iPod in the UK.  I'm assuming since it says it's 100-240 and outputs 120 it's completely safe to use, but I wanted someone more knowledgeable than me to give their opinion;)

Thanks!

Just wanted to comment that I've successfully used the UK charger with my US iPod with no ill effects for anyone else wondering. :)
