Yes, but only in Europe on a 230 volt 50Hz circuit.

No battery charger designed for home use should ever be used on a 240 volt 60Hz circuit in USA or Canada - or in any other country using that system - because the circuit breakers for that voltage will be sized to protect the wiring for much larger appliances like dryers, washing machines, air conditioners, etc. which take much higher currents than battery chargers. It is not safe to use a small appliance such as a battery charger on such a circuit.

If you are in doubt about what to do,

the best advice anyone should give you is to

call a licensed electrician for advice.

Can a 220 volts ac fan run in a 12 volts battery?

No, a 220 volts AC fan cannot run directly from a 12 volts battery. The fan requires a much higher voltage to operate efficiently. You would need a power inverter to convert the 12 volts from the battery to 220 volts AC to power the fan.

Can you run 220vac on 120vac on battery charger?

Your question is confusing. First off a battery charger puts out DC voltage not AC. If you are asking if you can run a 120 volt battery charger on a 220 volt circuit the answer is no you cannot. That would destroy the charger.


Would 220 v mobile phone charger work in 110v?

A charger designed to run on 220 volts only will not operate on 110 volt supplies but single voltage chargers are rare. The majority of chargers will accept any AC voltage from around 100 volts up to 250 volts. To find out, take a look at the information panel on the charger. On the panel there will be a voltage rating as well as other data. The voltage is likely to say something like "Input - 100-250 VAC". As long as the voltage available is within the upper and lower limits, the charger should work. You will probably need an adaptor to plug it into the local mains outlets but once you have that, you should be set.


How do you charge a 12volt battery from a 220volt home system?

With a 12 volt battery charger that is made to plug into a 220 volt circuit.


Do electric golf carts require 110 volt or 220 volt outlet?

Electric golf carts typically require a 110-volt outlet for normal charging. However, some high-voltage systems may require a 220-volt outlet for faster charging capabilities. It is important to check the specifications of your specific golf cart model to determine the voltage requirements.


What remedy can you do if you plugged the 120 volt to 220 volt battery charger?

There is no remedy but to plug it into a 230 circut.


What happened when you plugged 3DS 120 volts 60hz 7w charger adapter into 220 volts?

This scenario can not happen due to the different configurations of the plugs (caps) that are used for different voltages and amperages.


Does 120 V 50 Hz battery charger work with 220 V 60 Hz?

No. You will probably burn out your charger by subjecting it to nearly twice its rated voltage!


Which has a least resistance 220 volts 100 watts or 115 volts 100 watts?

The higher voltage need more resistance, from the formula W = V2 / R. That means R = V2 / W. So 220 v 100 W is 484 ohms, while 115 v 100 W is 132¼ ohms.


Which countries use 138 volts?

No country in the world uses 138 volts. They use 100, 110, 115, 120, 127, 210, 220, & 240.


The problems of electricity two light bulbs of 100 watt and one 60 watt both operation in a 220V circuit. Which bulb has the higher resistance and which bulb carries the greater current?

A 100 watt 220 volt light bulb (or anything consuming 100 watts on 220 volts) draws 100/220, or .45 Amps. It will also have about 220²/100, or 484 ohms resistance. A 60 watt 220 volt light bulb (or anything consuming 60 watts on 220 volts) draws 60/220, or .27 Amps. It will also have about 220²/60, or 807 ohms resistance.
