what power supplied to the plugs?

Am I going to need a power converter for my camera battery charger?

What is the voltage at the plugs

Thanks for the help

..and if you go to someplace else that would require a converter don't use it on a battery charger. They don't normally work on things like that. Unless your goal is to simply destroy the battery.

If you have more than one thing to charge or plug in on a regular basis, you might want to bring a small power strip as outlets are usually few and far between. Wouldn't hurt to have the surge protection that goes with it, either.

Thanks for the tip. Hadn't thought about a lack of plug-ins.

You can get power strips at Walmart or Mega pretty inexpensively if you don't want to pack them.

BE WARNED however, that most of the newer power bars have a 3 prong plug, most of the older hotels only have the fixtures for a 2 prong plug,,,,keep that in mind, best to get a plug that fits into the 2 pronged outlet, with a few extra plug ins that will accomodate 3 prongs....i carry them all the time i go.....now that i think about it i needed it for my toaster oven 1 year.....
