Vietnam Electric converter?
 

Hi,
I will be traveling to Vietnam from the U.S.
Do I need a converter for my camera battery charger that is 110?

thanks,

all of the electric plugs we encountered in vietnam...even halong bay on a junk....did not require a converter. the plugs look different
but work for cameras, etc.

I just tried to check a useful site, www.kropla.com/electric2.htm, but couldn't access it.

My recollection from a few years ago is that you can find either US-style 110V or European-style 220-240V, and either US or European wall sockets. But the fact that you may have a US socket on the wall doesn't infallibly mean that it's delivering 110V, or the converse. Nor is it simply a north-south thing. (Don't blame me, I didn't design the system - it was a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.)

I'd cater for all eventualities by acquiring a dual-voltage charger, to be on the safe side. This will come in handy almost anywhere else in the world you travel anyway. And of course you'll need a plug adaptor for the European-style socket, which (again from memory) is two round pins.

I just bought a new dual-voltage charger to take 4xAA batteries and decided that one with a moderate 3.5- hour recharge cycle was a reasonable compromise.

are you sure that your camera does not have a converter built in?? most do....if there is no converter you will need one or you will blow the thing into the sky...

Take a look at the charger for your camera and I think that you will see that it will work on a wide range of voltage and cycles (100-240v/ 50/60HZ). All you will need is the plug adaptor.
