The Steam Deck's 45W USB-C charger is dual-voltage (100–240V) and works worldwide. Pack a plug adapter; a multiport GaN charger handles the Deck plus your phone at once.

How to read your Steam Deck charger's voltage label

Find the small print on the device, plug, or power brick.
Read the INPUT line.
"100–240V" means dual voltage (safe worldwide); a single value like "120V" means single voltage.

Common labels: Input: 100–240V~ 50/60Hz · USB-C PD 45W

Label patterns to check before packing

Green-light label "Input: 100–240V~ 50/60Hz" means the voltage range is travel-safe; still pack the right plug adapter.

Single-voltage label A single voltage like 120V or 230V means the device is not universal; match it to the destination grid before use.

Missing or worn label Treat it as unsafe until the manufacturer, manual, or power brick confirms INPUT voltage, frequency, and watts.
