Zen Power Adapter - Different Region Plu

I recently bought the Zen Power Adapter for my 6GB Creative Zen because I am going overseas to Poland for quite some time and need a way to charge my player without a computer. The Adapter came with a US region plug, and I figured I could just use the US to European plug adapters I already have. However, I noticed that, even though the AC adapter says it works between 00 and 240 Volts, the US plug is marked for 25 V. I am wondering if this matters? Will it still work with plug adapters for other regions? And if not (or even if so), how could I go about getting other region plugs for the Zen Power Adapter? Because if it's an easy process, I might do it anyway just to free up the region adapters for other electronics.
Thanks,
Poland

Hi ctfreak,
I recently bought the Creative Zen Uni'versal Power Adapter for my Zens, and it works perfectly in various European countries. It is white and comes with various adapters for the player and with several adapters for the plug part. I have used it in Germany, Spain with my ZEN 32 GB and my son is now using it in England with his Zen V plus.
I also have another uni'versal power adapter black in color for my ZENs which is made in China for Swiss Travel Products - I do not remember where I bought it, probably through ebay - which is very handy as it comes in one piece and the different shape plugs slide out when you press a button on the side; this is especially good for me as I tend to lose the bits and never know which plug adapters I need for which country. With this plug I have everything in one piece. It has a USB port, so you would have to bring the short cable. This one does not work with the Zen V plus, but works very well with the ZEN, so I gave the white Creative Zen Uni'versal Power Adapter to my son for his Zen V plus and kept the black one for my new ZENs.
Hope this helps you.

  • Zen Power Adapter. H

    I lost the the piece of my Zen power adapter that plugs into the wall. I don't want to have to go buy a new one. Does anyone know where I can find the North American plug piece? I would assume that since it detaches from the adapter completely it can also be purchased separately. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVISE?!?

  • Zen V Plus - Use Micro Power Adapt

    Hi,
    I just ordered the Zen V Plus (ZVP 8GB) over the phone from Creative (I'm in UK) and I was recommended to purchase?the external power adapter. So I ended up buying that as well. When I got the confirmation e-mail, the power adapter turns out to be the "Zen Micro Power Supply" - as opposed to the standard (and uni'versal?) "Zen Power Adapter". Since both the Micro and the V series?only charge via USB I assume that the Zen Micro power adapter is compatible with the Zen V?Just want to be 00%?sure that it will work. Tia.

    Creative is selling?the Micro Power adapter?on the?web site for $9.99. 67% off list price. That's better than paying $29.99!It said they were out of stock for now.When you click on the?link?asking if you wanted to be notified when they were back in stock; another window comes up and?it says?that it works with the Zen V and Zen V Plus.Message Edited by mjmvb on 2-7-200707:32 PM

  • Vision M Power Adapt

    Greetings. I noticed that the power adapter for the 60GB Vision M was not included, and I'm curious to know if those generic wall chargers are just as reliable as the official Zen power adapter. Also, I read that generic chargers have these "intelligent chips" that prevent the Vision M from overcharging. I thought that the MP3 player, itself, prevents overcharge. Is it all in the charger? Does charging through a PC USB also provide this auto-charge shutdown?Thanks.

    i have the creative wall charger but not the generic one. i think it would work the same

  • Zen Micro Power Adapter w/ the ZenMicro Pho

    Well I bought a Zen MicroPhoto and unfortunatley it does not come with a hard travel-case nor a wall power adapter.. but, I purchased a Zen Micro before and thankfully have those accessories with me.. however, I wonder, can I use the Zen Micro power adapter with my ZenMicro photo The connection is the same, but I still am worried if something is different..
    Any insight would be greatly appericated,
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, this is perfectly fine. Creative sells the same power adapter separately for the MicroPhoto. I use my Micro's. It gives more juice in a smaller period of time than the USB connection.

  • Universal power adapter for zen v p

    I'm currently living in Australia and i'm going to asia for a holiday during Christmas. I have just bought a zen v plus 4 gb, but found out that there is no power adapter bundled. So i've decided to buy a uni'versal power adapter to recharge my zen without using my computer. However, in feature page for the uni'versal power adapter, the zen v plus is not listed as a supported player. So i'm wondering if the uni'versal power adapter can support a zen v plus.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Universal Power Adapter for Europe for my Zen Vision

    I'm going to Spain in 2 weeks and i'm wondering if the Uni'versal Power Adapter will work with my Zen Vision: M. In the compatability section, it names several models, but I don't see the Vision: M. Does that mean I won't be able to bring my Zen with me? Or am I just not looking hard enough and I can actually buy the Uni'versal Adapter?

    Hi,
    The Uni'versal Power Adapter is compatible with your Vision: M, see the specs.
    Bring along with you the Sync Adapter, just in case.

  • Zen Vision M Power Adapter questi

    I have a Zen Micro with the USB power adapter, i.e., the one that has an AC connection on one end a mini usb connection on the other. Can I use this to recharge a Zen Vision M?
    Thanks,Mark

    Zen Vision:M power adapter specs: input 00-240VAC ~ 50-60 hz .3 Amps
    Output : 5V 000 mA
    so in order for the micro charger to work it has to have an output of 5v and i think 500 mA wil lcharg eit but itl take the same amount of time to charge as the usb way will. not sure thoug. someone correct me?

  • About the Zen Touch power adapte

    I bought a Zen Touch off Ebay and realized after I bought it, that it didn't come with a power adapter! It does come with a USB cable and they said you can charge it via computer. My question is: Is there any power adapter that can fit the zen touch? Can i just buy it at wal-mart? Or is there another product that has the same tip as the zen touch?
    Thanks

    Here is a link to buy a brand-new AC power adapter. You can also buy replacement batteries from this site. Bookmark it!?http://store.l-f-l.com/cgi-bin/cp-ap...f=TESA3-050500?Cheers!?Sesquash

  • Does Zen micro power adapter charge Zen Vision

    i tied the good old power adapter on my Vision M but it seemed to charge it...a little...but then it didn't do anything so i'm wondering if i just need to try it again or does it not work period...

    i just happened to look in the instruction manual that came with the VM and it says absolutely nothing about NOT powering it through the AC adapter that was previously provided with the Zen Micro, not that i'm gonna lose sleep over it but why can't that power adapter charge the vision M?

  • Zen Micro Power Adapter Missi

    I just bought my Zen Micro from Circuit City, and really dig it so far. One thing I noticed is that Circuit City's website says the AC power adapter and a belt clip/stand are included as part of the package. When I got the box home, they weren't included. I called Circuit City who said their website was wrong; they, however, will reduce my price by $30 to compensate. Good, I thought. So then I tried ordering the power adapter directly from Creative, but it says they're on backorder. What gives? Anyone know? Thanks.

    It's best that you get an AC adapter, especially if you are not on the computer for long periods of time. Without the AC adapter, the charging may take up to 0 hours, depending on your computer. I have tried it and found that it only took 3 to 4 hours, but this reading is taken from a desktop PC.
    Most Zen Micros do not come with AC adapters and belt cli
    ps.
    This is especially so for the 4GB and 6GB ones. I advice you to get one as soon as possible, they are really convinient.

  • Zen X-fi MP3 & usb power adapter

    I have a Zen X-fi 8GB MP3 Player & a zen usb power adapter,they work perfectly.
    But I still have a question,I want to ask if I use the power adapter to charge the battery full,and then I always use the MP3 player when the power adapter is turned on for a long time...
    Will it hurt the battery?

    No it should be fine. The battery will stop charging when it is fully charged.
