What voltage is the battery charger meant for?

If I buy the futaba 7c 2.4GHz from USA where the voltage is 110v,
can I use it in Norway where the voltage is 220v?
Most battery chargers can take voltage from 100-240v.
Can this futaba charger do that?

And can the difference in the frequency (60Hz in Norway - 50Hz in USA)
be a problem?

Ps! I know I need to buy an adapter for the powercord, as we
use 2 PIN powercord here in Norway.

After some research I believe that the american version of this
Futaba radio comes with a battery charger that has an input voltage
of 120V. I'll therefore buy this radio from USA, and buy a battery charger
here in Europe that ha an input voltage of 220-230V.
I guess that the battery is the same in both versions, so I'll think this will work. :roll:

I have bought mine from USA (We have 220V here,too). I'm using it's original charger with a 220-110V tarnsformator without problems. If you want, you can buy the 220V Futaba charger and use it, but I already had the transformator.

I believe that an extra battery charger is cheaper than a transformator
so I buy that instead, but thanks for the tip.

Tromas, take a look here: http://www.clasohlson.no/Product/Product.aspx?id=29965723

Have used that with various 110V/60Hz equipment with great success (including the US 7C charger).
