I am looking at the htrc t240. I like how it looks and functions. I found it for 85.00 but it says it has a EU plug. Can I run a adapter on it from EU to US and it be safe. I found one with a US plug but it is like 15 dollars more. Just wondering if anyone had a better suggestion for around that cost and I want to be able to balance charge two batteries at once.

The question I would have for you would be, what number of cells are you planning on charging?

Charging two 3S 5900mAh LiPo packs @ 1C charge rate will max out the charger's AC 150w power (75w/channel). After that you would need to use the charger's power distribution, or use DC power supply to get what is needed for a larger pack(s)/battery(s) with more cells. What I am getting at is, if you are hoping of charging 4S~6S LiPo packs with the HTRC charger, you may want to consider a more powerful option.

Yes, you can either run an adapter or swap to an American style plug if you have one. It’s rated as 100-240v, so you can bring it around the world if need be.
