My bride carries a modest Kodak digital on all her.our travels, photos for her later watercoloring efforts.

We're off to Europe again, the first time with a digital, and she's aked me what to do about recharging the pull out Kodak battery, since the little charger comes with a removable attachment for US 110V, but no notice or adapter for Euopean venues and their voltage/plugs.

Check the adapter, if it says input voltage 110 - 220 all you need is a plug adapter to plug into the socket.

If it says only 110 you will need a transformer or voltage converter, like this one from Magellans (with the proper plug for where you are)

Or radio shack or someplace else.

but if the adapter says 110-220 or whatever with both voltages listed, you only need the $3 adapter plug.

Thanks, Old Top. I looked (as I should have earlier) and found that the charger is "rated" for both 110 & 220 input, and I have a plug adapter. Problem avoided.
