By not knowing which power socket is used you may end up either bringing unnecessary adaptors or pack the wrong power adaptor, meaning having to buy a suitable charger when you're there. Various frequencies and standards can all be confusing when planning on staying in a foreign country especially if you've never visited before. This page was written to stop travellers having to worry if they'll be able to charge their Beats Pill 2 when they are travelling to Malta.When you are going to travel to Malta this page contains instructions showing you how to charge your Beats Pill 2 by using a 230 volt 50Hz Type G Maltese power outlet, with the Maltese using a 13 amp plug for wall outlets. When travelling to Malta from another region make sure that the Beats Pill 2 can be used with a 240v supply. If the Beats Pill 2 was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 120 volts ensure your device is dual voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power converter to avoid the device from overheating whilst powering it.
