Can You Charge A Cannon Camera Battery Overseas
Overseas Bombardment Charging??
Overseas Battery Charging??
Hi
I have had an S10 for nigh five yrs and programme to go the new SD500 when available...
The Wife & I are going to a nuptials in Scotland in June and also plan to visit our daughter in Australia in the fall..
The SD500 appears to use the aforementioned charger as my daughters SD200,, ie the two(2) prong plug folds into the trunk..
What do the International travelers apply to charge their batteries while away??
Is in that location good vs bad converter plugs??
Is the Canon charger dual voltage and only needs a plug??
Or do you need a step-down transformer to drib the 220 to 120 before using a plug??
Does 220 Five @ 50 cyl modify charging time,, vs 120 @ 60 cyl??
Thanks
Jim

Re: Overseas Battery Charging??
Canon chargers back up 110-240V Ac 50-60Hz voltage range. When you lot come up to UK, make sure the converter you buy does non take a circular lip around the socket otherwise your charger will not fit in properly.

Re: Overseas Bombardment Charging??
Like the other poster said, the Canon chargers can handle the college voltage then there is no need to step it down. Go to Radio Shack - they have a kit containg whatsoever plug adapter you could always desire for any office of the world and last time I checked information technology was under $10.

No change ... the DC Voltage/Electric current at the charger side will remain unchanged .. and then are the charge times ..

Thanks for the input,,
It's to bad that the United states of america doesn't get the aforementioned charger equally anybody else,, And so all you would need is the different power cable..
Cheers Once again..

I'm puzzled by your concluding statement considering I call back you lot but need a unlike power cable. What am I missing?

In a number of countries Catechism delivers a charger that plugs direct into the wall outlet .. that is AFAIK .. In Europe we become one with a split power cord/cable which is easy to swap ..

That's right - different chargers depending on where y'all buy

That is right. Canon has two different versions of the charger, 1 has a cord and 1 doesn't.
The charger supplied in the U.s.a. has two prongs which fold into the charger base. To use the charger, yous flip out the prongs and it plugs right into the socket. That is pretty user-friendly because it takes up less room than a charger + string.
The European charger had a cord that is detachable. This makes it easier for Catechism to supply the correct cord for the local market. For example, the UK plug is different than the ane used by virtually European countries. Having a charger with a built in UK style plug would make information technology huge. You can buy a replacement cords in virtually whatsoever electronics shop in Europe with the right local plug.
Although the U.s. style charger is more than convenient to carry, the downside is that you must have an attainable outlet to plug the charger in where it isn't blocked by something. Personally, I'd rather be able to continue my charger on superlative of my desk.

Re: Overseas Battery Charging??
Love Jim,
Thank you for contacting Canon product support, and for considering
purchasing the PowerShot SD500. The battery charger for the PowerShot SD500 can be used within a range of 100 to 240 volts (50/60 Hz). Y'all may need a plug adapter to connect the U.Southward. type plug to an overseas socket, but if the voltage falls inside the range noted above, then no converter is required. Canon U.s. does not sell cables that can exist used in other countries, and we are unable to exchange the cables. I repent for this inconvenience. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please experience free to contact us over again if y'all have any other questions or concerns.
Thanks for choosing Canon. Sincerely,
XXXX

Then say Canon USA...
I have priced effectually and it seems I tin become a Britain & OZ plug converter for a couple $$ each or a kit for about 15$US..
I still am not happy about plugging the charger into a plug, into the wall.. Gut says the weight at the end of the leaver is deadline unsafe??
Thank you for the assist..

(I replied once already, but it doesn't seem to accept shown upwards. Sorry if this gets posted twice.)
Don't worry about using the charger on a plug adapter. I practise this all the time for European plugs and have never had a problem.
Simply... if you are concerned about information technology, purchase a cheapo, light duty US extension string from a discount store. The fiddling half dozen foot one like you would use for a lamp would be perfect.
Plug the charger into the extension cord and the string into the plug adapter. This will be perfectly safe and eliminate any mechanical stress from the plug adapter.
The added bonus of the extension cord is that sometimes the outlets are not very accessible, particularly in older European hotels. They are often cached down backside the Goggle box (if there is one) or dorsum backside the bed.
The extension cord will permit you to keep the charger out and attainable, even if the outlet is not.

Re: Don't give it a second thought
I travel internationally quite a bit. I but do carryon luggage (travel light) but I always bear this petty extension cord for exactly this reason. I can't tell you how many times I have used this for charging my laptop, pda and photographic camera batteries when hotel outlets weren't convenient.
I don't normally fifty-fifty carry the converter plugs. Any hotel has them for the asking, in my experience but YMMV. If I do, I only carry the ones that I need.
I would hate it if the Canon charger required another cable to carry - just more unwieldy stuff to lug effectually plus I would still demand my little extension string anyhow.

Re: Don't requite it a 2nd thought
OK, sounds like the cheapy adapter plugs are it,,
Merely,, the cheapy extension cord,, are you lot using a The states 120v cord in a 220 v circuit?? Does this create a HOT cord,, without the step-down transformer?? I know the charger is non a big amperage draw,, BUT ??

JC Johnson:
The insulation on most aught type extension cords will withstand more than the 120v it is rated for. The rated voltage is what UL or other certification agency has verified it to. Nigh nothing cords will withstand a voltage of at least 600v so I wouldn't worry about using it on a 220v circuit. There can be a problem, even at 120v, if the zero cord is dry and cracked which some tend to practice if old. Fifty-fifty so the danger in minimal because the you are likely protected by a GFI or circuit breaker.

Jim,
I am using a The states 120v string in a 220v circuit. Exactly the same one you would buy at your local disbelieve store.
Really--- it is no problem at all. With the kind of minimal current we are talking about, copper wire is copper wire. European extension cords are the same size copper wire, aforementioned insulation, but a different plug. The United states cord is well capable of treatment much, much more current than you lot would ever describe earlier flipping the excursion breaker.

Re: Not a problem at all
on acme of all that, what this charger draws is insignificant compared to the cord size. what makes cords hot is high electric current draw. Non a problem - by orders of magnitude - with this.
