Okay, this is a strange question...

If I were wanting to charge a Kindle or iPod via mains electricity, is this possible (or potentially explosive) considering the Vietnamese voltage. I have a mains charger for both devices but don't want to blow them up!

Excuse my electrical lack of knowledge Rolling Eyes

No problem, I charge both off the mains here.

Get yourself a power strip, if you want to be safe, rather than sorry. They have a fuse, so it should blow before your device does!

A surge protector is another way to describe them. Very Happy

Go to the CitiMart on Nguyen Trai. The aisle on the far right should have them.

A power strip and a surge protector are similar. But they're two different things.
