The folks at the travel shop said many rechargers for newer models of digital movie cams and other appliances can handle the 220 volt current in Europe and Africa. I have the proper plug adapter for Namibia. The Canon recharger says 100v-240v50-60Hz~17W. Is this thing going to work OK without me having to buy a converter? Many thanks for any help. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

Bill/Oregon, My brother and I bought camera and radios in USA and having put a EU plug adapter on the recharger, we do not have problems in charging the batteries. bye Stefano Waidmannsheil | |||

What is the proper adapter for Namibia? Two round posts, two flat posts, or three flat posts? | |||

I have encounted several different type plug receivers in Namibia. The little sack full of adaptars I bought at Radio Shack allowed me to find one that would fit, used them all across europe as well. you can make more money, you can not make more time | |||

Yes, your Canon recharger will work. Many (most) modern electronic devices automatically adjust to operate on any voltage in common use. It's just a matter of fitting the right plug. As for the plug, this site may be of interest: http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm No longer Bigasanelk | |||

the little adapter from radio shack is only 35 or so, & is worth having anyway. another alternative is to use the 12v charger and plug into the land cruiser | |||

I bought a fancy converter along with the receptacle adapters before this years trip to Namibia and Zimbabwe. then, I read the disclaimer that came with the converter; the instruction booklet that came with my canon, iridium and cell phone. I did not need the converter! | |||
