(...) The reason asking is that sometimes we send teams of students to a country with different voltage in the outlet, i.e. 110V instead of 220V, and the LEGO adapter accepts 220V, but not 110V. However, we have a DC adapter that accepts both 110V (...) (17 years ago, 20-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi, Can anybody confirm whether recharging a NXT battery block using 9V or 12V DC adapter is a bad or good idea, please? Seems that LEGO published HW schematics for the brick, but not for the battery block... Pavel. (17 years ago, 30-Nov-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
