Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Planning a trip to Petite-Terre? The voltage there doesn’t match the 120V we use in the U.S., so you’ll probably need a voltage converter.
To be safe, always inspect the voltage specifications on your electronics before plugging them in overseas. If you see “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device is dual voltage and won’t need a converter. Most tablets, laptops, cameras, and rechargeable personal care items support this.
