    charging batteries

    hi, my digital camera takes normal AA batteries - cos of the expense ive got a charger and recharable batteries - will these charge just as well in america with an adaptor on it? i have a 15 minute uniross one - will that still take 15 mins to charge, or will it take a great deal longer? or is it recomended to go to wallmart or somewhere and get one there while in america to do me the two weeks?

    thanks for any advice in advance

    I use a 1 hour duracell one which seemed to work just as well in the US as the UK. I just used a plug adapter and recall the charging times being about the same as at home [msnsmile].

    We use rechargables and find they do take a little bit longer, as does the recharge on the phones but nothing significant.

    May seem like a daft question - but here goes!

    Did your charger come with a 'car cord' (maybe you have forgotten you have it?). If it did then take it with you and keep your batteries charged up while driving. Saves buying a UK:US adapter.

    If it does not work, then take a trip to WalMart

    They are not expensive to buy and will come in useful for your next trip to Florida too [msnwink][msnwink]
