Hi,
i have an US camera and charger and would like to know if anyone can tell me if a can get an adapter in Egypt so that I can charge the battery.
Many thanks
someone will correct me if I'm wrong but we took a multi travel plug set and both the USA and Southern European ones worked
If your chargers have a separate power lead you can swap it for a UK or European one and get an adapter plug. They sell all manner of adapters in the electrical shops in the departure area at the airports, though you would be safer to get a suitable adapter before setting out Try an online store like Amazon).
BUT - if the chargers are US they'll be 110 volt, and the power in Egypt is 220v so make sure they can either be turned over to 220v or will recognise the voltage automatically else you'll blow them.
Thanks for the info. Wasnt sure on the voltage in Egypt. Will need to look into getting a converter.
They're the European style 2-pin, not American, sockets.

btw got mine in Boots all fix together in a nice case that's when the kids don't try to borrow them
It's seen a few holidays and business trips now but I have one with all manner of pin combinations that screw or twist out of a single unit - saves carrying a variety of bits that slot together lie electrical lego and works all over the world. Doesn't help with voltage differences though...
When I returned to collect it, I found that the maintainance department had actually made up a lead for me that worked a treat! No charge, of course and I still take it away with us every trip.
