Answer
Gday Kane,

The Nintendo DS is a standard console/universal system.  Meaning regardless of country or countries electrical system the system remains the same and the voltage required to charge the system is the same.  The AC power adaptor will change depending on your countries electrical standard)  If you move from country A (UK 220V) to country B (USA 110V) all you would have to do is replace you AC charger with whatever the local power type is the DS will be the same.

There are also USB charger cables available that charge you DS from a standard Computer USB port.

Hope this helps.
