Oh how I would love to buy at least 3 of these. We will be moving to Germany in about 6 months and I need to figure out what to do in tha battery charging department. The plugs are different there, so Im not sure what I should do...

Thank You Mark and Wader! I figured it was threaded, but didn't want a not so great surprise in the mail.

You can buy adapters for foreign plugs to fit US pronged plugs. Google it!
Some of the adapters can be quite bulky. I've been thinking that the best thing would be to buy a US powerboard to plug the chargers into, and 
one US to overseas plug adapter No need to buy multiple adapters. Just one.

Why did I not think of this?

So buy an american powerstrip and one US to overseas adapter...got it. Going to google that too

My only concern is that many of the adapters available are just plug adapters - they do not make any conversion of different voltages. Now we all know I just don't get all this electrical talk, but I get the impression that US voltage might be different from Australian (Yes I've tried googling but haven't found an answer) and so I worry that using a US power board might not be a good idea. Don't know at all about EU or UK stuff either.
Currently (ha ha pun) I use USB hubs for all my US (is that another pun?) products, so I don't have any correcting for different power supplies.
Perhaps an electrically-enabled person could shed some light on all this?
I'm so excited...was out to visit my dad last night and he has chargers plugged in every outlet available in the kitchen except for the coffee pot. I ordered him four and will get a power strip. Mom will actually be able to mash potatoes without having to unplug one of his chargers He will think it's the best thing since sliced bread....

Katz, I assume that these chargers operate on dual voltage (both levels as good Morandir explains). Maybe one of the V4L crew will pop in to verify that. If so, all you (and I) need are the two-prong plug adapters for couple of bucks each.
Thanks, Mark. So Katz, how does 6 adapters for $4 total sound?

Pretty Good! But I think the power board/strip + 1 adapter + the chargers sounds the neatest set up. Thanks All! Mwah!
Katz, I live abroad a lot and have been hesitant to try the strip approach. A standard USA strip isn't made to handle the higher voltage in Europe, especially if it has surge protection and such. There are special international versions available (e.g., Monster makes one), but the cost would be much greater than taking onesies. Be sure to Google the subject before deciding on the strip approach. Rick Steeves is one good resource for such questions.

You should be fine in Germany as they also use 2 pin. You might still need an adapter though as the US pins seem to be flat like the shaver plugs you get in hotels, at least my V4L charger was.

Mine arrived today. I like the way it looks and how small it is. Now I'm vaping up a storm trying to run out a battery so I can time the recharge.
UL and Patent Pending, only the best for our fam!!!!!!!!!
These are the worlds best, and yes, you can use these for multiple charging.....no muss with cords, our molds, and highest quality parts
This is only the begginning
Enjoy
