A search on this forum for "converter" or something will lead you to dozens of similar threads & answers, including this recent and perhaps the ultimate one Electric Supply Pins Plugs Adapter etc explained

Do you mean a mains plug adapter? They're available most places.

Yes, you need one. You can buy it at Radio Shack. Charge your camera batteries at night, when there are fewer power outages.

Almoist every electrical place in India will sell them we bought one just across the main road from the Master Guest House in Delhi for a few rupees in comparison to Australia where they were about $18.00, wait till you get there youll save a fortune

Yep: BUY THERE!

None of the 'international adapters' I've ever bought fitted Indian sockets properly

I'm not really sure what your question actually is.
Is it:
1. will the plug on my charger fit in Indian sockets?
No it wont. As already been said here, buy an adapter in India
or is it:
2. will my charger be compatible with the Indian electrical system?
There is not enough information to answer that question. Come back with more info.

My digital camera will charge on anything from 100v to 240v.

All I need is an adapter, and these are available everywhere in India for about Rs.15/-

Lea · Aug 26th, 2005, 11:39

ok, i have a Canon PowerShot digital elph with a chager input of 100v-240v.
and after reading the other thread as suggested, my plug won't fit in the indian socket, so i'll need to get a plug adapter, which will cost me about 20 dollars, so looks like the best bet is to get it in Delhi.

goangoangone · Aug 26th, 2005, 20:51

Yep, buy when you get here.
