tkramer Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I just purchased an Xs in the USA (110v) and want to know if charging it in Thailand with local 220v has any potential to damage the phone...? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiMaai Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Its rated voltage should be clearly marked on the charger somewhere. Can you post a picture of an writing or symbols on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 If you are lucky you get one of those chargers which is good for any voltage. Something like this: If not then buy a charger in Thailand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkramer Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi OneMoreFarang. Thanks. Mine is just a small little cube that the USA website says is a '5W USB Power Adapter'. Will look for something from some of the electronic stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely somewhere on that adapter is a label with the input voltage. If you are not sure you can buy lots of '5W USB Power Adapter' online and offline for little money. https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=5v+usb+adapter If you have a phone which needs lot of power make sure you buy an adapter with a high A value i.e. like this with 5A https://www.lazada.co.th/products/huawei-mate-9-chargertypeccable-set-mate9-pro-fast-charger-45v5a-5v45a-usb-wall-quick-charger-adaptermate9-mate10-pro-p10-plus-i122543497-s127923381.html If the Amp = A value is higher then you need that is no problem. The phone will only take as much as it needs. You won't damage a phone if you have an adapter with high Amp value. It will charge (maybe) faster.

clokwise Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 If you bought a brand new phone with a legit Apple charger cube then no worries. All Apple chargers are rated for 100~240VAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
