Will my DS lite charger work in England

Will my DS lite charger work in England?
I know you will need an adaptor but I read that the DS charger can burn up because in England they have different electricity outlets. 10 for best answer!

You need an adaptor AND a converter, you can find then in travel/luggage stores
2 :
The UK uses socket outlets which are completely different from any in the USA or elswhere in Europe. In addition, the electricity supply in the UK and Europe is at 220-240 volts, so unless your charger is rated for 110-240 volts - yes, it will burn out. As a further complication, UK and Euopean electricity is supplied at 50Hz AC, whlist the USA uses 60Hz AC. This difference doesn't much matter for a battery charger since the output is converted to DC anyway, but anything American that runs on AC electricity won't work in Europe without a converter.

The voltage converter may work but the supply in the UK can be as high as 240 volts. The sockets are 3 pin (earth, neutral & live) so you will need an adaptor to convert the European plug to a British one. All British plugs are protected by a fuse, if your Spanish voltage converter does not have one I would not recommend using it as there would be a serious risk of fire and/or electric shock especially if you use anything that draws a lot of current like a hairdryer.

If you have used it successfully in Spain then yes, it will work in England. But note that the plug used in the UK is different to the plug used in Europe, it has 3 rectangular pins instead of 2 round ones. You can get UK to Euro adapters, have a look on Ebay.
