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)

It's more than likely that the BC-900 will adjust itself to the line voltage.


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).

UK mains voltage is the same as Europe's. Even when it wasn't the difference
would have been unimportant as any decent switchmode supply adjusts to any
line voltage in a very wide range.

I really need to be sure that what I have will work before I leave.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

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.

Find someone in England near to where you're going and have it delivered
to them? But I'd wait until you get here and order it yourself if you
need it, because I'm very sure the one you have will work.
