Is it safe to use an adapter only for my cell, and camera. My laptop has built in converter but the others don't

Look on the item you are connecting before you plug it in. For example, the plug for my iphone clearly says that the plug (with USB connector) can be connected and work with either 110 volts or 240 volts. If an appliance says it is for 110 volts only and you plug it into a 240 volt line, it will burn out instantly. The adapter plug is just useful for connecting our USA plugs to connect to another system; it doesn't convert the voltage from 240 to 110 volts. Some appliances, such as hair dryers have a switch to change from 110 to 240 volts. Hope this helps.

These should work okay I used them for my cell phone and camera with no issues

It depends on the equipment. Check the manual to see if it's designed for high voltages. Then if all you need is a plug adapter then yes. If no I have seen a small travel voltage converter here on Amazon and that is what you'll need.

I can not speak about a lap top. But, I used the adapter on my iPad and camera batteries (Sony and canon). They are still working fne.

Jamie, if you look at the really tiny print on your chargers (you might need a magnifying glass) it will tell you the voltage that your charger will handle. My iPhone and iPad chargers (small square that the USB cord plugs into) says '100-240 v). In the UK I believe their voltage is 230 so we were safe to plug into the adapter only. I hope that helps.

Check your chargers - should say on if it is rated for "100-240 V" (example only could be 110-220 V) - most are - but it must say on the charger that it is and it must match the country you are visiting - the adapter only "adapts" the plug and not the electricity....

It is as long as the chargers for your devices have a converter. Most current ones on the market do (iphone, etc).

Some things have "dual" voltage (most camera and phone chargers, some travel hair irons etc.) and you will find that info somewhere on the device or instructions. If you are not sure, its best to plan on using the converter.

I did some research and there is a power adapter that moutrie sells but it is for indoor use only. I have identified some sort of port on the bottom of the camera that is supposed to be for an adapter.

the only thing you have to keep in mind is that the converter requires a power source. If you have a USB you can plug it into, that will work. Otherwise, the power adapter is not included and you'll have to buy one that plugs into a standard outlet and had a USB plug that you can plug the USB cable provided with the converter. It would be nice if they included that with the converter, but they don't, so it will be one more piece you need to buy, but Amazon or your local Radio Shack should be able to help.

With the adapter that comes with it, yeah I've transfered files from my laptop to it just the other day. But to use it as extra memory for a laptop(is that what your wanting to know?) it is not for that purpose. It is a memory card for tablets and smartphones.

As a past buyer I can't answer your question directly, but can tell you that I bout the converter so I could use some of the power suppliers from my earlier Thinkpads on my new one, and it works perfectly. It allows me to use one of the many "chargers" from my only computers on my newer Thinkpad. In fact, that is why I bought 2. I didn't want to be traveling again and not have the right charger/adapter.

I was in London and used this adapter to charge my ipad and also the camera battery with no problemOREI Grounded Universal 2 in 1 Plug Adapter Type G for UK, Hong Kong, Singapore & more - High Quality - CE Certified - RoHS Compliant WP-G-GNA lot of Europe chain hotels also have at least one outlet in the room that is 110 as well

This has all the adapters and connections in it. No need for any converters. I used it for my cell phone, fitbit and laptop. My co-traveler did it for the camera.

Hi frank !! If your adapter has a small USB port , you just plug your regular cell phone sync / charge cable on it . Otherwise , I doesn't know another way to give a charge power to your phone. Just give it a full charge or try to get an adapter with the small USB port , like I got . I hope that was helpful . Ok ?? Have a great day !!!

You need to know if your specific pad has built in conversion to other power supplies. This is merely an adapter is not a converter. My iPad, iPhone, Olympus camera, and Braun shaver do not need converters so I was covered for all the electronics that travel with me.

The camera can only handle 110 volts. If the adapter reduces the voltage from 220 to 110 it would be ok but I would be very careful.

I think you can use the correct adapter with it but I don't know which adapter. I used an American video camera plugged into an electrical outlet in England while using the proper adapter and it worked fine. My adapter set had the name of the country where it would be used on each adapter.

your batteries will either melt or the adapter will burn out. this is not going to work. I suggest you either find a similar high voltage batteries in europe to use, or if it is that important, then spend money on an actually worthwhile converter and not this cheap plastic knockoff that's only use is an oversized plug. also, check your adapter. make sure what it says. if it says 120-240 v, then you're gold. if not, then at the very least stay away from this thing.

I am using this for my mobile charger. But also charged my laptop once with this. I frequently am using the Universal adapter for my laptop.

Hello Todd,The same adapter is used, so no issues there. The battery is as expected; works as it should.

this does not convert voltage (ie. 220 to 110), which is liekly why the other commenter stated his camera battery fried. The reason the iPhone charges succesfully with this item is because the iPhones have voltage range of 110-240.always always always, check the voltage on your device. Only use this item by itself (without a transformer) if the device says it 110-240. Otherwise you will likely fry your electronics

Nope you don't need this. This converter is only useful for SSDs in desktop PCs. Your laptop uses standard 2.5 inch drives so you should be fine.
