I want to charge my cell phone and digital camera batteries while in Paris. I went into Radio Shack today and they don%26#39;t know what they are talking about.
What exactly do I need? Do I need a 50-watt converter, a 1600-watt converter or what? (LOL!)
And, about how much should they cost?

FIRST---consult the owner%26#39;s manuals which came with the equipment and/or the manufacturers%26#39; web sites for any recommendations or warnings they may provide. You might also e-mail their Customer/Technical Services departments for specific recommendations. Many electronic devices have automatic or switched dual voltage (110V-60Hz to 220V-50Hz conversion built in. But in any event, you will need an %26#39;adaptor%26#39; plug to get the two(2) flat %26#39;balde%26#39; plugs that came with your US equipment to fit into the two(2) round %26#39;prong%26#39; outlets used in France.

Look on your plug device and read the Input tolerance, if it is marked 100V-240v, then you just need an adapter that will allow you plug in to the french outlets.
If it reads Input is anything less than 220v, then you will need a converter for input 230V-50watt converter (I%26#39;m looking at the one we use here for old US appliances without any problems).
