In the US but bought a dsi xl from france. I'm wondering if I can use an original 3ds charger to charge it? says on the back of the box that the power supply included is suitable for the e.e.a and Switzerland if that matters

Since Nintendo doesn't provide – for whatever stupid reason – AC adapters with wide input range, your charger has to match the voltage of your grid:
American charger works only on American outlet 110/115V~ @60Hz → 4.6V⎓
European charger works only on 220/230V~ @50Hz → 4.6V⎓

As you see the output is always the same; all DSi(XL) and (New) 2|3DS(XL) use 4.6V⎓ for charging.

⟹ Use your American 3DS charger!

Good Morning.:)

If you are brave, you can try a Charging Cable like this:

You can use your PC/Laptop´s USB Ports or an USB Hub for Charging,have no Fear,nothing can happen...
(normally...😂).

Good Luck
Thank you.😊

Yes, the DSI XL and all 3ds models use the same charging port.

All consoles are universal in terms of the power input, so a US 3DS charger will work fine with a DSI/3DS from anywhere in the world.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
