Weird, any of you EU'ers know about Friwo?
I happened to get one of these EC205 chargers, it has the two-pin plug.
For grins I tried hooking it up to my recently acquired 750VA "chinesium" step up autotransformer (complements my 250VA French brand (Sabir) unit I guess). Both of them are around 230V-ish AC output, and of course at 60Hz because I don't have a VFD.
Well anyway, I had three NiMH cells in it and let it charge up. After many hours I checked this unit.
WOW THIS THING GOT HOT!
I wonder if it's because I was running it at 60Hz or because this thing is a piece of excrement? I think it's still working however.
Anyone know about these units? The charger has German and English text on it, but the plug looks like UK due to thinner prongs, but I suspect DE plug looks very close.
