It has an American plug on it, to be sure, but the charger itself is a universal one - read the "small print" on it and you'll see. The power cable is a standard "figure 8" one so you can replace it with one with a UK plug on it very easily - I'm sure you must have something in the house with a figure-8 type power cable?

It will work, but I'm sure that you don't really need one. I only bought mine as a spare, so that I could have a charger at work as well as at home.
BTW - are you sure it's not recharging via USB? Is the red light above the power switch not coming on? You need to charge via USB on a machine with the "Connect" software installed - it won't charge from a "dumb" USB power supply. The only circumstance in which it will fail to charge via USB is if you let the battery get completely flat.
