after returning a nonfunctioning charger to e-force city, I ordered the Zen charger and I am very pleased with it - a full charge in less than 2 hours! A strong reccomendation

Charges really quickly; much easier to use than charging through the computer. No instructions, though. I found through trial and error that I need to have the player off and LOCKED before charging. Otherwise, plugging it in only turns on the player and actually uses the battery, but does not charge it. Oy.

This is a good power adapter. You plug it in and it charges the Zen Vision in two hours or less. That's what it promises and that's what it does.

Nice product, nothing to write home about. The adapter is somewhat pricey. nevertheless, it allows you to charge without the computer and in half the time.

This item is very good at charging the unit in little time and you can also use it to power the unit while you are listening to music through either your stereo or watching a movie on tv. You get about 2 hours of battery life without having this adapter plugged in so I recommend this if you want to watch any type of movies or videos for extended periods of time. Overall a very useful product.

... is BAD !
Nowhere I looked - when researching if I could use the adapter e.g. overseas -
does it state the range of the input voltage for the adapter !
This is the same on Creative's AND on Amazon's websites.
I would expect this info as part of the specification.

Answer - found on the hard to read mini label on the adapter :
Input : 100 - 240 VAC 50-60 Hz, Max 0.4 A, Output : 5 VDC 2.4A

The Creative Zen Power adapter makes recharging and use very convenient. No need to hook up to a CPU and I can play my Zen for a 12 hour shift without the battery dying. The Zen is fully charged at the end of the shift for the drive back home and the drive into work the next day! Couldn't live without it!

Charge very quick, and I know that my battery will last longer, with this product

Trying to charge an mp3 player on a computer which does not have a hi speed usb port takes hours. With this charger I could charge the player in approximately 30-45 minutes. Understandably, there are many various chargers available, but the one fact that convinced me to purchase this charger was it works with Creative players. I really did not want to chance it with another manufacturer which may not have worked. Of course the beauty of a charger is it allows the player to be charged without the use of a computer.....

A must have for the Zen V+. Works very well and much faster than the usb charger. SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE ZEN V+. You should not have to buy this separate.
