This question gets asked all the time but reading through many, many previous rounds I got even more confused. It seems like there have been changes and answers that used to apply may not now. My question: In Europe (Hungary, Serbia, Croatia), do I need anything other than a plug adapter for my laptop and digital camera recharging? They are both newer, each less-than two years old. I have a plug adapter so the plug will fit in the wall but do I need a currency converter, too?

Well, you will need to convert your currency to Hugarian forint, Croatian kuna, and Serbian dinar, but I don't think that's what you mean ;-) As for voltage, no, your laptop and digital camera will not require a converter. Pretty much all electronics can operate on dual voltage these days.

Pretty well any device with a rechargable battery that has come out in the past decade has a universal power supply; input from 100V through to 240V can all be handled and all you need is an adaptor so that you can plug into a wall outlet.

I also recommend the kropla web site. It's all well and good to say everything is dual voltage these days, but it never hurts to check. (I'm paranoid.) Look on the back or bottom of your appliances (battery charger, laptop, etc) and make sure it says something like 110-240. You're probably fine, but check to be sure. I still see some battery chargers that say 110-120 and that won't work. If you have one, just get another charger that is dual voltage. You have to replace them every so often anyway so you might as well do it now. Currency converters aren't failsafe either. I blew an electric toothbrush in France this year because the fuse blew in my converter. We just bought a French (actually German) toothbrush that we'll use in the future. Easier and lighter than the heavy current converters. Enjoy your trip.
