Is there any way to charge the Pico while traveling abroad? I'll be in Germany for a month and would love to take the amp with me.

Thanks for any information!

why wouldnt you just charge it with the ac adapter and a normal travel adapter?
I'm in Japan, and I charge it without any adapter at all

Yeah, should not take too much space to bring the supplied power adapter/charger.
Then a travel adapter if needed.

Thanks for both replies. So I can assume that the adapter will accept European current, and I just need a different plug?

The Pico feeds off of a DC current. The purpose of the power adapter is to convert from AC to DC, and the power adapter can be used just about anywhere in the world (100 V - 240 V, 47 Hz - 63 Hz)
If you are using the power adapter that came with the Pico, you have no problems
The plug in Germany is different from in the states, so you will need a simple travel adapter. I was living in Germany last year, so you should definitely try and pick one up in the states instead of waiting till you get there since it could be a pain to try and find one once you get there

yes, the supplied adapter will do fine, the battery charge circuit will just take what it needs, no need to worry about overcharging
