Can I Use My Camera Battery Charger in Canada?

Good to go

You're good — plug right in.

Your device's voltage range matches this country, and the plug fits. You can use it directly — no adapter or converter needed. As a final check, confirm the voltage range printed on the device label.

The short answer

Camera battery chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V). A plug adapter is all you need; consider a spare battery for long shooting days.

Canada runs 120V at 60Hz. Identical to the US: 120V at 60Hz, Type A/B sockets. US travelers need nothing; a US device plugs straight in.
