Electric converter???????

[franmaryp]

I am from the USA and have a question regarding electrical currency. My phone and camera charger state "100-240 VAC". I have an electrical adapter plug for Spain, but wonder if I have to schlep a heavy converter along too. I get a different answer from anyone I ask- Any American pilgrims who have been and can inform me "with first-hand info" as to the need for a converter?
:?

Have only used the adapter attached to the end on my plug. Haven't needed a converter...for camera, Iphone, etc.

Hope that helps.

Arn- thanks for a speedy reply. That's several ounces of weight I can scratch off my list

Just make sure that you don't have 110V only equipment and you'll be fine with just an adapter.

Like said above...If equipment is marked 115v - 240 v it will work in Europe. You will only need the adaptor plug that converts your U.S. blade type plug to the European round type.

Much easier than a few years ago.

The ultra small 110 -240 USB converter which comes with an Amazon Kindle has worked for my phone, camera, etc all over the world. Looks like a plug, weighs less than many plug adapters.
