chargers burned out?

I just checked the output of my socket. Initially the voltage ranged between 239-241VAC and after 10minutes it ranged between 244-246VAC. (any one knows why it incremented over time?)

I also measured it in another room and it was between 244-247VAC Finally I measured the output of a Line Regulator and Conditioner I have (Nominal ouput 230VAC) and it displayed 244-247VAC again.

So I guess those chargers were zero tolerant and could not tolerate voltages beyond 240V.

That is very high - you should contact your electricity supplier, however I would still expect the chargers to be OK.

I am confused. In a previous post you said that even 250VAC would be acceptable.

You mean that the chargers should work even under 247VAC, right ?

Yes, I would expect that. However extended use might result in overheating and failure.

What voltage are the light bulbs there?

I accept your admission of abject humiliation and total defeat.

The highest voltage that you should see out of a wall socket in Europe id 253V.

I have myself seen 252V.

Depends where you buy them.

240V here in the UK.

240V in Cyprus. Anyway, it looks like those cheap Chinese transformers are zero tolerant.
