Let me second what kybourbon posted. As long as the charger is dual voltage all you need is the correct adaptor plug. Here's one place to get them:

Many battery chargers work on both 110 and 220 volt power, so a converter is not necessary, just a plug prong adaptor. I did use my converter for my battery charger just because I had it with me. However, the converter didn't fit the outlets in Spain because they were recessed and the converter had a flat surface so the prongs wouldn't reach the socket. A trip to a 'dollar store' type place in Madrid got me a recessed plug adaptor for about a dollar, then everything worked just fine.

Since the camera and its battery charger were undoubtedly manufactured for purchase by people WORLD-WIDE (and not just in the US)it makes sense that the charger would handle a range of current.
I would NOT use any converter for any piece of equipment that didn't need one.
Converters are notorious for failing and causing problems..please DO NOT do that.

It amy make sense that it would be dual voltage, but it would make even more sense to check it. Brilliant me, I toasted one in a small town hotel room in Europe a few years back. Wow did that stink, and we spent part of the next day going into the city to find a replacement.
Flip it over and check before you go, despite what your sense of logic tells you. And if you're planning to rent a car, consider an AC/DC charger to plug into the car plug.
