Batterys/charger....

[p00pty2]

What type of charger and batteries should I get, I am going to thailand and will need to charge them from my hotels and other places I stay.

I have never left the UK so im unsure weather I can just bring a charger over there and use it strightaway without any poblems (like it blowing up )


I dont mind spending money on a charger with loads of battaires to cover my holiday, but if i can just get a few and charge them over there it would make alot more sence.

I am assume you have a GP32. Get some energizer 2500Mah recharables. They are inexspensive too.

"The added feature of a switch mode power su pply allows this charger to be used around the world (travel plug adaptor required)."
so you might have to get one of these....

I left the UK last June on a world tour and my GP32 is still going strong. I would just use AAs as you go along. It really depends if you don't mind carrying the added weight of a charger + batteries. I use Lithiums (disposable) and they seem to last a long time.

Oh yeh for travel adapters get them at the airport, there about 8 pounds or so and can be used worldwide.
