Charging Batteries While in Europe

[belle67]

We are going to Europe for our honeymoon and we have found both the adapter and the converter we need to take with my hair drier and flat iron. On both packages it says not to use with electronic devices... battery chargers, PC's, things like that. Well I am taking my ipod, digital camera and my camcorder. These all have batteries and I will need to charge them. What am I supposed to use?

If I remember right, most of the converters don't have a lot of "intelligence" so to speak and since most electronic devices use a DC power rather than AC, they're more delicate so you need a converter rated to convert from the European 220V AC to 120 V AC... So, you need to get a converter that's rated to do electronic devices... I found this one on Amazon that's rated to do laptops, so it should be able to charge your iPod or your camera with no problem: Apc Universal Plug Adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BJAQVS/sr=8-12/qid=1152808111/ref=sr_1_12/102-2334915-7333706?ie=UTF8).

Cool. Thanks for the clarification. I haven't seen them yet. I guess I will have to start asking around where I can find them. But at least I know what I am looking for! :D
