You don't give the most important piece of information: what is the appliance that the battery charger is used for?
That information is needed because the right answer to this question will depend on the power drawn by the battery charger. If it is a very small one designed for use in Europe for a camcorder or a mobile phone, then it should work OK if its label or rating plate says it can be used on a wide range of voltages, such as from 110 Volts to 240 Volts.
Even if it does not say that on the label, because it is an old-fashioned "transformer-based" type which will only work on 230 Volts AC, you might be able to use a small type of "international travel" voltage transformer to convert the supply voltage up from 120 volts to 230 Volts AC. These can sometimes be bought at airport shops or usually they are available from electronics parts stores - Maplin Electronics in the UK, for instance.
But that small type of "international travel" voltage transformer is not a cheap item to buy and it may actually cost you less to buy - in USA, Canada or wherever you are going to - the right type of battery charger that would be suitable for the battery in your appliance.
If the battery charger is a very big and heavy one, taking a lot of power, you would have to buy a much heavier and more expensive kind, an "auto-transformer", to convert the supply voltage up from 120 Volts to 230 Volts AC at the much higher current. But, again, they are very expensive and it may actually cost less to buy the right type of battery charger for whatever the appliance is that you wish to use in USA, Canada or wherever you are going to. (The small "international travel" type of voltage transformer would not handle it, it would probably just blow its internal fuse or might even explode and die!)
What else can I help you with?
Can you plug a 110V Level One charger into a 20amp circuit?
yes 12 volt battery chargers are suitable for all automotive and marine 12 volt battery's never use the quick boost function on some chargers to charge a battery it is best to charge at a low setting over night should do ah is the amp hour rating of a battery the higher the rating the longer it can turn the starter for without going flat a battery charger to the best of my knowledge shouldn't have an amp hour rating so i don't know where you got this rating from
What happens if a 110 v charger is plugged into a 220 volt source?
Plugging a 110V charger into a 220V source can potentially damage the charger and the device being charged due to the higher voltage. The charger may overheat, the device may receive too much power, and it could cause a fire hazard. It's important to always match the voltage requirements of the charger with the power source.
Can you plug a power-bar on a 220V to 110V converter?
The power-bar must be plugged into the correct voltage it was designed for.
How large a 110 volt generator is needed for a 40 amp 12 volt battery charger?
To calculate the power needed for the battery charger, you multiply the voltage (110V) by the amperage (40A) which equals 4400 watts. Therefore, a 110V generator with a capacity of at least 4400 watts or higher would be needed to power a 40 amp 12 volt battery charger.
I need To connect a compressor to a car battery for a project and the compressor requires 110 volts 8 amps is that possible in anyway?
No, it is not possible to power a 110V appliance like a compressor directly from a 12V car battery, as the voltage is too low. You would need a power inverter to convert the 12V DC from the car battery to 110V AC that the compressor requires. Make sure the inverter is rated to handle the required amperage for the compressor.
Can you charge car battery using 110V AC outlet?
Only if you have a battery charger connected to that 110 volt AC outlet. If you are thinking about connecting live AC current directly to the battery post forget it. That would more than likely cause the battery to explode.
Do 36v Dewalt batteries which are supplied with a 110v charger charge up correctly using a 240v charger?
yes as long as you only use one leg and the neutral of the 220 or if the charger is designed to operate on either voltage

What is the maximum output voltage of the battery pack with a 110v output?
The maximum output voltage of the battery pack with a 110v output is 110 volts.
Can you plug a power-bar on a 220V to 110V converter?
The power-bar must be plugged into the correct voltage it was designed for.
Did you burn up your motor if you plugged in 220V to a 110V?
Yes, although you might have lucked out and tripped the breaker first.
What happens to a Nintendo ds i XL 110v when plugged to a 220v?
If you buy the 220 Volt Adapter for the XL it will work fine. If you just plug it in the resistors and hardware within the charger will short out and be unuseable after that. I purchased the 220 Volt adapter for the DSI XL for less that $10.00 from Amazon and it worked fine.
Can cell phones charge on both 110V and 230V?
Yes, if you have the appropriate adapter

Will hooking up a power inverter to an electric scooter charger blow out the controller?
Well, that all depends on the voltage of both the inverter and the charger. As long as the output of the inverter is the same voltage as the input on the charger, you should be fine. Example: Normal scooter charger is 110 volts. Inverter is a 12V DC to 110V AC inverter. (the type used to watch a household TV while in a car) and your scooter charger normally plugs into a wall socket in your house, this will work fine. If the inverter you have is one that turns 110V AC to 12V DC, then you will have a problem.
