This may sound like a silly question and it's been dealt with here before but I'm not sure, so here goes. The battery charger for my digital camera has a plug-in cord which is presently the two round prong Korean variety. I'm making a trip to Canada soon where I will need to use the recharger. On the back of the recharger it says this; "AC 100-240V~50/60Hz". What I'm wondering is will this thing work in Canada with one of those 600 won adapters that you place on the end of the plug to convert it to the two prong flat North American style plug? Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, it will, assuming Canadian voltage is 120 like in the US.

Yes it will work, and it doesn't even matter what the candian voltage is. That range will cover any country.

Thanks for the replies. I figured it would work but wanted to check before frying my recharger. Very Happy

I bought my camcorder in Korea and used it in Canada (recharged it there) without any trouble. Same thing with our laptop: bought in Korea, used in Canada and no problem at all. Go home with no worries.
