    I bought a gun in poland and it came with a 2pin charger im wondering what adaptor i need to make it work? I have a shaving charger but its rated at 250v 1amp,

    the charger itself has a input of 230v 50hz 100ma. And output of 9.6vDC 300ma.

    Will that shaver charger work? Of what adaptor do i need? or can i just stick it in the socket as is :P

    I just bought two adapters in a pound-shop in Balbriggan last week - €1.50 each. My son's been using one for his AEG battery all week.

    The one Tesco were doing was €7.80.

    My understanding is that these adapters don't do anything with the voltage, the only allow different plugs to physically fit.

    I just use a sharp object to press inside the socket to plug in 2 pin plug. If I understand correctly, in Ireland 3rd pin is just a safety feature which when pressed allows you to plug in the other two.
