Charging Digital & Video Cameras - DP

[Bee Dub]

:confused: Travelling on Diamond Princess late May '05 and wondering if it's possible to charge our camera batteries in the cabin power outlets

[WCAB]

I always charge up the camera batteries at night.

If your charger is one of those big chunky plugs like mine, you may want to bring a powerstrip/extension - as they may not fit into the small space.

[Sincity]

Yes. But if it is "chunky" you can only do one at a time.

If you have 110 at home, you won't have a problem, the plug ins are all 110 power in the cabin.

We were on Sapphire (Sister ship to diamond) in January cruising Auckland to Sydney. Took Australian 4 outlet power board and a pin converter to plug into US style outlet. 110v is no problem as nearly all modern camera/laptop/mobile phone chargers can be used in 110-250v range but check back of your unit. We kept 2 cameras and 2 mobile phones on charge whenever necessary (perhaps I could of missed the phones as my mobile phone account is a whopper :mad: !!!)

Charged the batteries for the digital camera almost every night on the Star for a 30 day cruise. Not a problem. The charger held the 4 batteries I needed for the camera and it worked in the outlet of the Star Princess.

On our last cruise we brought along a short extension cord with a three-outlet adaptor on the end. This made it a cinch to recharge everything at once without worrying about bulky plugs.

[Bee Dub]

Many thanks for the advice.

Good advise on power strip.

 

Also, good to have spare batteries for all day excursions. I get great price on Ebay for batteries. Just paid $7.95 plus shipping for 2 batteries for my digital camera. They wanted $21.95 for ONE at a local store!

My boyfriend and I just got back from Caribbean Princess cruise and we had several digitals cameras, video recorders and cell to keep charged....lol... He brought 2 different extension cords....one had a plug without ground and the end had a 4 open areas to plug into....he also brough a power strip without ground on it and we charged several different things....I never would have thought of that....
