We are off the USA at the end of the month and will be taking our digital camera and laptop computer with us. Of course the power in Australia is a different voltage than the power in the USA and we will need a converter to, well, convert the power so we can use them. I called the largest dutyfree shop in Sydney and they said they only sell converters to change the plug size NOT the power (what good is what I tell you). Does anyone know where I can get one from? If we can't charge our laptop computer battery and our digital computer battery we are pretty much stuffed as we will be away for 7 weeks.
Thanks. I don't know where you are located, but if in Tassie Dick Smith's carries them. Also when you get to the US you can go to a Radio Shack (they are located all over) and they will have them. You can also look on ebay.com.au and might be able to find one. As I had the opposite problem (US to Oz) I was told and it appears to work as all of my appliances (hair dryer, lap top etc work well and have for 2 years) that if the appliances are rated a 240W they will work and only need a plug converter. Check it out to make sure though Try Dick Smith or Tandy b4 u go. |
