The wall plug (AC blade) is mounted for all versions: * U.S./Japan/Canada * European * United Kingdom * Australian The recharger can quick-change four AAA Ni-Cd batteries which have a nominal capacity of 220 mAH. Quick charge rate is 66mA for these cells. Charge time should be approximately 5 hours. A rechargeable battery pack and safety cover are included with the charger.
