Hi Annie, If you got the MyCharge Hub 6000 from Amazon, you'd have to use a plug adapter at the end of the two-prong plug to recharge it in Denmark or elsewhere in Europe, since this device is only made for US two-prong outlets, not the European ones. That's less convenient, because for outlets in the U.S., Canada, etc. you can flip down the two prongs and plug the battery for recharge into an outlet and have it sit flush against the wall, with no need for any extra support. That might still work with an additional adapter plug, but you'd have to check that.This battery does not speak its chatprge levels like the MyCharge Peak 6000 that Sieghard has.
You can download PDF instruction booklets for all their product models from their web site: http://www.mycharge.com/collections/instructions Just navigate to the link for the product you want, such as "Hub 6000". The MyCharge Hub 6000 is about the size of two iPhone 4 or 4s models stacked on top of each other -- that is, it's slightly shorter than the iPhone 5, and about two and a half times as wide. It's shaped like a small book volume, with a curved spine. If I hold it in my right hand, with the curved "spine" against my palm, the charging plug prongs that can be flipped out are at the bottom of the "pages" side of this book. There's a strong, rubbery flap that you can flip down to access the plug prongs. I pull this down with my left hand, then stick the thumbnail if my left hand into one of the recessed slots for the plug prongs to flip them up. If you follow that (closed) rubbery flap down and around the corner of the device to the underside of the battery, you'll feel another rubbery flap that opens from the side near the curved "spine" that's against the palm of my hand. Opening that flap gives you access to a standard USB connector. You can plug in the USB end of any of the iOS charging cables here. You can also use this port of MyCharge Hub 6000 to power an external hard drive that requires being connected to two laptop USB ports, or an external power supply to work. (This is according to a review by someone using such a large capacity drive attached to his MacBook Air, with a limited number of USB ports — I haven't checked this.) If you use your index finger to feel along the top side of the MyCharge Hub 6000 close to the "spine" by your palm, you'll feel two rubbery strips, side by side, each half the width of the rubbered section. (Actually, you'll only really feel the notch between the two strips at the slightly raised edge close to the spine.)' One flap will feel slightly textured near the raised part. That's the flap on the right side if I hold the battery as though I were plugging it into a wall socket, with the flat side facing away from me. This right flap has a micro-USB connector embedded when you pull up on the flap. The long end of the micro-USB connector faces the center line between the two flaps, and the textured flap carries inset letters for "MIcro". The flap on the left side has a lightning connector attached that you can plug into the base of your iPhone 5 or newer model iPad. To start charging, after inserting the lightning or micro-USB connector into your iOS device, or attaching a cable from the USB port at the opposite end, hold down the power button between the end of the top two power strips and the curve of the "spine" for 3 seconds. If your iPhone is connected you'll hear that chirp sound the device makes when it's just connected to a powered external source. I read one blog review that claimed MyCharge planned to make a battery model with charging plug that would match European outlets, for the convenience of international travelers, but I couldn't find any corroborating evidence for that remark.
