Battery charger for England
"tracymar55" wrote in message ... I have the Konica Minolta Lithium Ion Battery charger BC-900 for my Konica Minolta Dimage A200 and am going to England for several weeks. Can anyone tell me what I should do about voltage? (I no longer have the original documentation from this battery charger and Konica Minolta is out of the digital photography business so I can't track it down) 1) Do I need a new battery charger? If so, how/where do I get one that will be compatible with my battery and work in England? OR 2) Is there some kind of adapter I should buy that would make this battery charger compatible with the UK's 220 voltage (which is not the same as Europe's). I really need to be sure that what I have will work before I leave. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Tracy p.s. I've managed to find such battery chargers online via stores in England but think there must be a better way than to purchase from England pay exorbitant international postage. And maybe I don't need a new battery charger. Have you looked at the battery charger itself, or its power supply unit.? There should be a notice on one or the other showing Input / Output details. If the Input voltage range includes 220 volt, then your charger will work almost anywhere in Europe including the UK. You would then only need a plug adapter, which you could buy once you arrive. (Us people in Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland take exception to the UK being described as England). Roy G |
