Charging camera battery in another country

Question

I will be going to Jamaica and bringing my digital camera. How do I charge the battery when it dies? Do I need an adapter, or can I just plug it in like I normally would?

Answer 1

You need to buy a adapter/charger at local to charge your camera battery in foreign countries. Because the plugs are different in different countries.

Take the three-pin plug for instance, it is different in UK, US and China.

Answer 2

Look on your battery charger ... it will say something like 100~240v 50~60 Hz.  This means that it will charge your battery anywhere in the world.  All you need is a plug adapter to connect it to the mains.  I was throughout the Caribbean last summer and all the islands I visited used 110v @ 60 Hz, since all their consumer electronics are imported from the US for the most part.  There may be some pockets where 240v @ 50 Hz is used, but I did not see that in any of the 16 islands I visited.
