Battery voltage in Gas/diesel powered cars

[msta999]

What is the battery voltage in a none hybrd/electric car? is it 12 volt like the United States? I am concerned about rechargeable tools, I know Germany has a different herts (rating and I assume Norway will be the same), so american clocks and other items won't work properly, Figure I can take a couple inverters to recharge my cordless tools as long as the batteries are still 12 volt. Anyone use Milwaukee tools there?

It's standard 12V.

The Norwegian grid voltage (in houses) is ~230 Volt / 50 Hz, so for any battery chargers brought over from the US, make sure they support both 230 Volt and 115 Volt.

Some chargers are multi-volt, but you want to make sure they specify "100 - 240 Volt / 50-60 Hz input", or you'll blow some fuses and possibly damage your equipment if the charger only supports 115 Volt.

I checked my own power tool chargers just now (Bosch, Makita and DeWalt) and they all only supported 240 Volt.

Yes, people use Milwaukee tools here.

Thanks for posting and answering my question.

Just buy a Milwaukee charger in Norway.
The batteries should be the same.

I can check what it says on our charger tomorrow, but you can probably check yours too. 
We have mainly Milwaukee tools, from drills to trimmers.

Are you using the M18 or M12 batteries?
