I did a little hunting and it seems you really want to use your 110v charger on a 230v supply.....

So you could use a transformer (LINK)

or you could get a local power supply pack.

Read the label on back of power pack that attach's to wall socket and charger base, see what input it can handle, some gear can handle like 110v-230v, others cant ie will read 120v

Any adaptor that puts out the same output as the original would work ie 18v DC 2.5 amps is your specs i beleive so use a transformer or another suitable adaptor

Please check my quoted specs are the same as listed on power pack of your charge ie I am assuming you are using your 110v A.C. to 18v 2.5amp D.C power pack

SOURCE: i HAVE A DEWALT DC729 18V DRILL

is this a north american model.all i can find is model DC727 & DC728 model. charger model 9116 & battery is DC9096 may work.charger volts 110v ac. if your buying the individual part like batt & chgr its more expensive than buying the whole kit is cheaper. hope i answer your question

You will need he correct charger, the 24V will destry a very expensive battery.

SOURCE: My Dewalt 7.2-18v charger model #dw9116 is giving

It means there is too high or too low a voltage coming into the charger. Check your chord.

I had the exact same problem. After using the necessary security bit to crack mine open, I found that the large capacitor inside had come loose and needed to be re-soldered.

That fixed my charger.
