220V I believe
A truly wise man can entertain a thought without accepting it. A fool cannot withhold past judgments but instead closes his mine to new possibilities. Someone who wants to innovate simply needs to forget what everyone says isn't possible.

lol whut? An European charger might take that, but the DS itself sure as copulate won't.



I'm not sure what the DS's tolerance is.

Well, do us all a favor, and don't. If you don't know what you're talking about, you don't need to post.

The power fuse will blow at 6.2v, I tested this one time. Bridged the fuse, worked fine, not gonna try it again now that it has no fuse protection. ;)
