Poster: A snowHead
|
Ok only semi ski realted but us snowheads can normally sort most things out. ok i want to take my ipod away to france with me and will need to charge the battery at some point. ok will it be alright to plug my ususal charger into an uk/euro adaptor and charge as normal or will i need a hideously expensive apple adaptor?

Europe and the UK have standardised on 230 volts for electrical equipment, so you only need an adapter that will physically allow the plug to be inserted into the French socket. America's another matter, as they use 110 volts. Any snowHeads off across the Atlantic will need to check the small print on their appliances before using them stateside. In practice, most battery chargers (eg for mobile phones) are designed to work anywhere, and things like hair driers are sufficiently insensitive to voltage to sort of work after a fashion.

Agree with Jonny Jones, the time to be careful is if you have US equipment designed for 110V and you plug it in over here. Can go bang ! As a colleague of mine found out with a $50K bit of telecom test kit
