Does this mean I don't have to buy an electrical converter?
loads of electronic items can run on 110 or 220-240 Battery chargers and powersupplies are almost always universal nowadays, you just plug most of them straight in, with items older than about 5 years there may be a switch to press to change voltage
these are the things I have that work on both
Camera battery cherger
mobile phone charger
laptop power lead
hairdryer
travel kettle
psp
mains ipod charger
as a general rule if its electronoc it doesnt need a transformer or has one built in , if it has moving parts eg sewing machine (dont ask) then it needs a transformer
Hope this helps
