![]() Will this not work? Sorry for the continued confusion. devices will actually work in them (will they?) (2) plug into the adapter the grounded "universal power strip" (see link in my earlier msg) and (3) plug into the power strip the chargers from my US devices, all of 100-240 volt range. In other words, for the UK: (1) plug in wall an adapter with UK-compatable output and a grounded input - IF U.S. I am prepared to buy such a power strip, as well as adapters usable in UK and France wall sockets that will accept a grounded plug from my power strip. devices, given the apparent lack of inputs in the design of a two-prong U. My question (or so I thought) was whether these so-called "universal" power strips, which contain inputs that supposedly can accept plugs from every country, could actually accept a U.S. I was under the impression, from earlier TA posts, that any power strip used in UK or France must have 220 volt capability to charge my US devices (all of which have 100-240 volt range, making a converter unnecessary). UMI 2400W Step Up Voltage 110v to 220v Converter, Heavy Duty Power Converter 110v to 220v, Power Transformer For Large Capacity Device, Step Up 110v to 220v - Converter for Europe Appliance. Well, I'm afraid I'm now completely confused. Thanks for your patience with grade-school level questions. Assuming I find one that runs on 110/240 input, am I correct that all we'll need to use it in a bathroom in Europe is the correct adapter? Separately, my son plans to take an electric razor that we will purchase. I already have one adapter each for GB and France.Īfter plugging the adapter into the wall in London, can I then simply plug into the adapter a generic, North American, Best Buy-purchased strip/surge protector with room for 5-6 plugs, into which I would plug in our chargers? If so, am I correct that I would not have to purchase a separate set of adapters for each device that needs charging? Do I have to buy some special strip/surger protector? I've seen so-called "international" strips, but if I have the correct wall adapters, would I need anything other than the strip I currently use at home? After reading about this, I have determined that all chargers/plugs for these devices have a 110-240 input, meaning (as I understand it) that we will not need a converter, and will only need those small adapters to plug into European wall units (please correct me if that's not right). My teens and I are traveling to London and France and have multiple electronics that will require charging (Iphones, blackberry, cameras, Garmin). ![]() ![]() Sorry for needing hand-holding on this issue, but my knowledge of electronics is limited to the on/off switch.
