You can't plug that in here. We use 240V at 50hz.

You need a type F plug rated for 220-240 V @ 50 Hz.

I'm quite surprised the rating for input AC isnt more acceptable. Lots of electronics allow 100V-240V and 50-60Hz so you just need to swap the cable to fit the outlet where you are. Your anker equipment seem pretty much useless here without something to synthesize north american AC.

Maybe call anker to find out if they're that restricted and you better just leave it all at home.

We don't have sockets for those in Sweden.

You will most commonly find earthed sockets of Type F CEE 7/3 that works with the also pictured CEE 7/4 plug.

If you're staying in an older building you might even find sockets of the older Type F CEE 7/1, however they are very rare as they're deemed mostly unsafe and have been for the most part replaced entirely with the newer earthed sockets.

In some rare occasions, you might even find sockets that are designed specifically for a Type C plug, however from my experience they are fairly rare outside of some apartments and are usually used for kitchen appliances like a microwave etc that needs a dedicated outlet.

Also worth noting that our outlets are rated for between 220-240V @ 50Hz, however it is most common to find 230V outlets, so I wouldn't aim for anything less or higher than 230V @ 50Hz.

Getting a EU-plug adapter isnt the issue. The issue is the high output in with "wrong" input power.

You'll need a converter from 125v to 230v which can handle atleasr the 1250w that your thing is at most requires.

Those are both heavy, big and expensive.

First Google resultat this

What are that product you have? Can in be bought in Sweden? Often cheaper,better, lighter and smaller. Just less versatile.

Seems that the Anker 727 does support universal voltages, you just need to use a plug adapter. The reason it says 125V only seems to be so that it meets certain requirements

Wrong Hz and you won’t have enough voltage

They forgot adding a 'W' at the start of the company name.

But to the topic at hand: don't bother, you'll need a 250V adapter.

If you just need a USB charger, then buy one after you arrive instead. They are dirt cheap: a one slot charger is $4.50 and two slots is $7.
