Hey guys, I'm traveling to Ireland for a couple weeks and was wondering if anyone knows if the Canon battery chargers can handle international voltages/currents (240v 50Hz) without the need for a voltage transformer. I'd like to just get an international plug adapter, if possible, and I believe that all of my other electronics can handle both US and Int'l voltages.

I'd just look on the charger myself, but it's at home. I figured someone here probably knows. Thanks!

Yes, they can. All you need is the correct plug adapter. If you'll look at the raised lettering when you get home, you'll see them described as 100-240V 50-60 Hz.

Yes. Very few modern plug in devices like chargers, laptop bricks, etc arent international compatible, it makes it cheaper for manufacturers etc.

That is why you can take a dumb power strip with you on an international trip and only need one wall outlet adapter for the power strip. The power strip should provide enough outlets for a laptop, phone charger, a couple camera battery chargers...etc. For our 2 week trip later this month, the wife and I will each have a power strip and two outlet adapters...just in case.
