“12v max” charger – will it work on 230V?

As the title. I live in the UK and have a nice set of 10.8V tools (as they’re known here), but I’m in the US in a couple of weeks and I’m tempted by the DCF813S2 which isn’t yet available in the UK.  Will I be able to use the charger on the UK’s 230V? It’s not a deal breaker, since I can use my current charger, but having a second charger to use away from home would be handy.  Many electronics these days are configured for 100-250V, but I can’t see anything in the online specs.

Could someone perhaps check the voltage specs on the back of any US 12v max charger? Many thanks!

The manual for this model says 120v only for the charger. So I think you’re out of luck on that one.
