What do I need for this while I'm in Europe?

Question

I'm from the US and am wondering what type of electrical converter will I need to plug in and charge batteries and my iPod while I am in Europe?

Answer 1

im from the US also and i went to germany and austria in november and the hotels i stayed in had a few different plugs built right into the wall we didnt need the one we borrowed from my moms friend. idk if it was just bc we were at a good hotel or whatnot but they had them in the wall already and they had blow dryers so you prob dont need to waste space bringing one.

Answer 2

You will need different adapters for England and Europe. They may be purchased at Travel stores, Radio Shack, Target, Wal-Mart etc. I am not familiar with the iPod charger's power requirements, check the label, it should tell you if it is dual voltage compatible, eg: 100-240volt 50/60hz. Most all electronics are made like this. If it is single voltage you will need a voltage converter but single voltage electronics are very rare.

Answer 3

There are different ones, depending on what country you are going to.  (The prongs are different shapes)  

You may be able to pick up what you need at a store that has travel things (I think I even saw them at Target) but the most reliable place would be at a AAA office.  One set that I bought had about 4 different ones with the appropriate country written on them...The other one I bought (I think at AAA) was one cube and had the different prongs on the sides.  Both worked great in the UK and in Europe and weren't expensive.
