I'm taking a trip to china. I'm wondering about the voltage in china. Will I need a converter or will my iPod be ok with the higher voltage? What If i buy a charger in china and use that? Will that mess up the iPod?
iPod touch
Apple chargers are universal. All you need is an adaptor to make your charger plug compatible with Chinese sockets. These are usually available in airport duty free shops or electrical stores such as Radio Shack, Maplin etc depending on your country of origin.
Do they have higher voltage in china? Learn something new everyday. I think some chargers have input voltage 120-240vac you will have to look on the label where it shows input and output voltage. Usually on the back.
You just need an adaptor for the Wall Plug...
If you are living in a house, and you will be there a while, you might install a american outlet that can handle the current. Or have an electritian do it if you dont have the electrical knowledge so you dont hurt yourself. .Also, you might purchase a power inverter that uses 12vdc from a car battery and converts it to 120vac and the amount of watts depending on what model you get. They are usually pretty cheap especially ones that plug directly into your cigarette lighter. Those are usually under $30. Just as long as you have a way to charge the battery. In a car you usually dont have to worry about it.
I would just use a normal charger if I were you but im not you so the decision is yours my friend
