Charger for Google Nexus 7?

[dextermorgan]

Today I got my nexus. But it has an US type plug point..when I try to charge the tab ,its charging alright but the charger is getting very heated up. Is there any where I can buy an charger with indian plug point for nexus 7?

A little bit of heat generated by charger is normal. These chargers work with voltages ranging from 110 – 230v. The same would be written on it too.You can get a converter socket for 50 bucks. Here's mine which I use for my Nexus 4 charger.

Heat dissipation is expected but its getting quite heated up. Tablet is in normal temp but damn charger is heating up. I wonder how much an charger with indian plug would cost

You charger would be a 2amp one I suppose. I tried searching on ebay/flipkart, couldn't find any branded chargers.
Perhaps wait for admin/manu's input as both of them have Nexus 7.

My charger doesn't get heated at all. Maybe its a problem with your charger. you can try this if you are feeling adventurous.

Which type of charger did you get? Indian 3 pin plug or US two pin?

Iam currently using this type of converter only.

Offtopic: Wow ..I was at kfc for around half an hour and Wi-fi was enabled on tab. N7 automatically downloaded 4.2.2. and was bugging me to install. Installed it and now OS is 4..2.2

US Two Pin type.

Mine is the regular US pin type too. I use it with an adapter and have seen no heating problems. It does charge through microusb port on my computer but hilariously slow. I doubt using your phone's charger would hurt it's battery. Just would charge it slow.
