Does Nikon Z6 battery charger work on 220V?

4 years 3 weeks ago #678133 by Matt Nguyen
Assuming the world isn't in lock down mode 100% next month we are heading to Austria and Switzerland.  Everything is is 220V there.  Do I need a new battery charger or will the Z6 charger work with the increased voltage?

I would be glad to have you look my way, I am in Austria! :P

If you can read: "AC 100~240V 50~60 Hz" you only need an
AC power adaptor for each of these countries.

— for Austria…  Adaptor
— for Switzerland…  Adaptor

Most modern day electronics will run just fine with plug adapters from the country you are heading too.

True, but I'd get them prior to leaving. I wouldn't want to shop them on my vacation.

Why so serious?

Electrification of north America happened progressively everywhere
on the sub continent and that why the system is standard for all.

In Europe, at the same time, they all wanted to be different… if done
today, the EU would standardise it for sure!

You're going to have to read each adapter. It will state (for example, reading from my Nikon MH-25a battery charger) Input: 100-240v ~ 50/60 Hz.

This means that I can use this in Europe, and that all I need is a plug adapter. Not a voltage converter. Most of your modern devices will be marked thusly, but verify each that you wish to take with you.

To be honest i think there would be zero chance of getting into Europe next month for tourism.

Yup. Most likely everywhere on the planet maybe for many months.
