Battery charging in remote locations

<p>Most likely something will go wrong. The key to any successful journey is to accept that everything will not be perfect nor does it need to be perfect to have a wonderful experience. Go with the flow and be willing to adapt to situations. Best wishes.</p>

<p>There is not a problem in Cambodia; rural or otherwise in Battery charging provided you take spares. Most electric equipment auto switches from 110v to 220v so you will not likely to get damage from the voltage. I<br>

I've been here running photo tours for 10 years and can say with some conviction that even where there are no mains electric batteries and or local generators are uses it never been a major problem. If you are traveling by car or 4Wd there are small inverters that pug in the the car electrics to run laptop battery chargers etc. I take one on tours but its not often needed and more likely for my laptop.<br>

The infrastructure is improving and some places that were difficult a few years ago are now well provided for. Let me know where you are headed and I can give specific advice.</p>

<p>Hello Anne, According to this handy website, electricity in Cambodia runs at 230 volts. The site also lists the types of plugs used in different countries around the world:<br>

You'll also need a voltage converter like this one:<br>

She absolutely does not need a voltage converter. Like virtually all modern battery chargers, the charger for the Sony A390 she says she is using handles 230v.</p>
