My mother was able to get a transformer from Radio Shack that allowed her to use a BN in the UK, with it's American 110V charger. This item cost her around $35. I don't think that's an exorbitant price for an item which allows her to charge her BN any time and anywhere she wants.

Pulsedata-Humanware changing my batteries for me is almost arcane to SENDING FOOD down my throat through a feeding tube! For me, changing batteries should be extremely simple and fairly easy. Having said that, I realise that NOT ALL OF US are so daring in our approaches to anything; for such folks, a shipment to the ends of the earth is quiet in order. As an aside, I am saddened that Pulsedata-Humanware DID NOT GIVE ME a choice between a BrailleNote that has both 110 volts 60HZ and 220 volts 50HZ electrical voltages and cycles. Meanwhile, on a laptop, the voltage CONVERTS itself automatically. To purchase a power supply charger for 220V 50HZ will cost me an arm and a toe!! I suppose a reason for this is partly because the U.S. branch of the company in its infinite wisdom assumed that I would never travel, <smile>!! Wish that were true!!
