Will my computer work on the electricity in Belize?

Question

I am going to Belize and want to take my lap top and was wondering if it will work the same down there as up here in the USA?

Answer 1

I hope so unless they have found a new source of power.

Answer 2

Yes it will work. However, Belize has a differently shaped plug, so you will need to buy an adapter. Belize's voltage is 110V/220V. Belize style plug  U.S. outlets are 120V. Most new devices (phones and laptops) can handle the different voltage rates, but some devices only work on the U.S. standard of 120V. Check your device to see what voltage range it handles. Most transformer blocks will have an "Input" line that defines its voltage capacity. For example, "Input: 100 - 240V" means that it will work on voltages from 100V to 240V. If your transformer can't handle the different voltage, you'll need to purchase a voltage converter.

Go to Radio Shack or a similar store and ask for a adapter.

Answer 3

Yes, it will. I lived there for 3 years and went there for all of my summer vacations. Belize is my home, so i would know. You won't get wireless internet but you can do most of your work there and transfer it to the internet at a Internet Cafe (usually at the Cayes of Belize). The outlets are the same so you don't need an adapter, if you do it is cheaper to but it there. Have fun at Belize, I'm sure youl love it. PS- DON'T JUST DO WAORK, RELAX AND HAVE FUN.
