Mickey asked:
I'm going to NZ with my US equipment. I have a voltage converter, but it
says for use with heating element equipment like hair dryers and curling
irons. Is it safe to plug battery chargers into it? Will it work?
------------------------------------------
My guess is that your converter is converting voltage only and not doing
anything about frequency. I assume NZ is 220v and 50hz. The US hair
dryer doesn't want to see much above 110v but probably doesn't give a
hoot about the frequency.
I don't think the battery charger would care either but I'm not
qualified to answer either one. If I'm wrong I'll be corrected soon.
