Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Type-2 to Type G adapter safe to use?
Use only with a compatible Type 2 AC charge point and correctly protected equipment. Do not exceed 13 A or any lower marked rating. CP/PP signalling is not evidence of a built-in appliance current limiter.
What devices can I use with it?
You can use any UK 230 V appliance that draws 13 A or less, such as e-bikes, scooters, mobility aids, and household appliances.
Does it provide normal mains voltage?
Yes, it outputs standard 230 V AC, just like a typical UK wall socket; the adapter only changes the connector type.
Can I use it in wet weather?
No, it is only IP54 splash-resistant when the lid is closed, so always use it in dry conditions.
Will charger software updates affect it?
Yes. Charge-point software, load management, configuration and operator restrictions may affect operation. Compatibility cannot be guaranteed after every update.
