Q: Can I charge my iPad using a voltage converter and a 50 Hertz outlet as in Europe?
IF I want to charge my iPad in a foreign country with 230 volts AC and 50 hertz can I do it with a voltage converter (to 115v) and still using 50 hertz instead of 60 hertz? Will that work ok with no damage to the iPad?

No way to know. Voltage converters do not provide true DC output nor true AC sine waves. It it's an expensive, high-end converter guaranteed to charge Apple devices, then it's OK. Otherwise, why not use the charger that came with it? It will do the job because it works on 230 V, 50 hz AC power as well as 115, 60 hz AC.
