Can the Battery Charger LC-E5 for EOS 500d be used in Asia? If not, what's an option?

Am worried my Battery Charger LC-E5 for EOS 500d may not work with power sources in Asia. Can I safely plug
it into wall sockets in Thailand to charge a bsttery? If not, what's an option?  many thanks, ec

I don't understand the tendency on here to repeat exactly what someone already said without providing any new information.
I used my charger for the 450D in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and China.  Not to mention Europe, Africa, South America, Australia.  No problems.
Pretty much any modern day electronic (not any electric, electronic) will run fine on either system.  Electronics run on DC current, so AC line supplies need to be rectified, smoothed, and downscaled to usually around 3.3 - 12V.  The components that do this can easily be made to handle a wide range of AC input, which is quite convenient.   I would always check the electronic or the transformer (the brick between the cords on a laptop charger) to be sure, but in general the only things that are going to have issue are simple non-electronic devices like electric shavers and curling irons.

  • I can't get rid of the battery charged symbol

    Even when I switch off my ipod, the battery charged symbol stays. When I have used the fully charged ipod for 30 minutes or so and switch it off, the next day the battery is already drained. I think that this is due to the battery symbol never going away. That must use up the battery?? Can someone help?

    I have this same problem!! I posted the other day and no one has responded yet. I kept trying to reset mine and the "charged" symbol would not go away.. Then finally after re-setting about 20 times.. the battery showed almost all the way dead.. Then I re-charged it and it worked normal. Then I just charged it again and it's doing the same thing. Constantly shows the "charged" symbol in the right hand corner and when I shut it off it appears on the screen.. AHHHH!!!

    I bought Macbook Air early 2014. Ever since i bought it to turn it on after a long ie. 5hr - 6hr i have to first charge it for at least 15 mins and sometimes it wont turn on for 3hr - 4hr and then it will turn on regardless of the battery charged. If i had put it on sleep even then it wont turn on it will work as usual as it is suppose to do. I went to icare twice and they game me the device back after 1-2 weeks saying it is now not giving any issue but when i will used it next morning again same thing happened. It's like i can never go out anywhere with the laptop outside as i have to first charge it and then turn it on. Icare wont replace my device they only say if there is any issue with the hardware we will replace that hardware but i think it is useless because they don't know what the issue is. Can someone help me out what to do now ? It's been to iCare ever since i bought it now i don't want them to again do the same thing.

    My ipod touch seems to be jammed on the battery charging screen it has the spining symbol like its trying to load something.  I cannot turn it off. I have tried hooking it up to itunes to reset it, but it seems to jam itunes as well. Any help would b much appreciated.

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connecting it to your computer.  If iTunes see it, restore the iPod via iTunes
    - If no sceen in iTunes, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore it. For recvery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Let, let the battery fully drain and then charger and try again.

  • Why need to charge iphone 6 Plus everyday the battery just last long for a day- My phone just 1 week old

    I have to charge my phone everyday, The battery just last long for a day. Is that normal ? My phone just one week old.
    Please advise mates.

    I would say that is well within the acceptable limits,
    If you check out Apple's page here: http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/
    All the way at the bottom is the battery info. It states that you'll get up to 12 hours of battery on 3G/LTE. Of course, that number is obtained by following a very specific set of steps - the real world number is less.

  • Can I use the ac charger I bought for my mini with my new nano

    Having just bought a Nano, I want to know if I can use the ac charger I bought for the mini to charge it. I don't have enough access to a pc to charge it via the USB cable.

    Here are the specs on the Apple AC converter:
    Input AC 100-240 V 50-60 HZ
    AC input 0.35A max
    Output 5V, 1A
    I'm not sure how this matches up with the specs on your charger. Maybe you could find a website for your supplier and see if they advertise the unit for Nanos?

  • Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.4 on my iPad 3, battery capacity has drained almost 10%/hour without any use of the device. Prior to the upgrade, the battery charge would hold during periods of inactivity. What can I do to solve this significant problem?

    Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.4 on my iPad 3, my battery capacity has drained almost 10% per hour without any use of the device. Prior to the upgrade, the battery charge would hold during periods of inactivity. What can I do to solve this significant problem? Is there a way to uninstall iOS 7.0.4 and return to the previous version?

    Downgrading isn't supported.
    You can poke around in the settings. There's a lot of stuff defaulted to on that you may not need, such as notifications.
    You can also look into background app refresh and background app updates. They can be running in the background and drain your battery.

  • I need the mother board plug for the battery charger and Bios Battery for an XT178 Laptop?

    I need to replace the motherboard plug that the Battery Charger plugs into as it is broken.

    are these parts available from HP or can you provide me with common part numbers.

    Hey JD,
    That's a reaalllllllllyyy old laptop.  As an HP employee I feel obligated to recommend picking up a new one at your local retailer.  
    If you are serious about finding parts then you may be out of luck.  HP stopped servicing that notebook in 2006.

  • Can the battery o an iphone 4 be replaced if it is not holding a charge?

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen, 5 years old, has short battery life. Can the battery be replaced? If not, does apple have a replacement program? how much?

    Details:
    5 year old 2nd Gen Ipod nano only works for an hour the most. Battery may be approaching end of life.
    Can this still be replaced? if not, what are my options? Does apple have a replacement program?

    Just would like to share with you, my experience with a friend's Nano with a smiliar problem
    The battery level could be too low to boot up the OS of the iPod, which even may corrupted (if you see a folder icon).
    The best way to fix it, is to connect it with different device other than your PC as it is likely not get charge at all, e.g.
    1. car charger
    2. ac charger
    3. ipod speaker dock system
    4. using firewire cable
    5. with a Mac computer
    The key is to charge the battery level up to the minimum for you to put your Nano into disk mode

    once you see the "tick" mark, connect it with a computer, and try to do a Restore for your iPod. In case you still do not manage to get your iPod to be recognized by a PC, I am afraid you have to connect it with a Mac, very likely it will allow you to do a Restore as I did last night

  • HT201412 my ipod 4gen wont turn on, wont charge non responsive, when i connect it to my pc it is not recognized, i tried press and holding the home and lock button but wont solve the issue, it will only display the battery charging(frozen) and that's it

    My ipod touch 4th gen wont charge , turn on, wont reset, when connect it to the pc it wont be recognized, when you press a button the battery charging image will appear for a bit then gone again, black

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When the battery charged fully in macbook pro and the charger (AC Adapter)

    when the battery charged fully in macbook pro and the charger (AC Adapter) is connecting (Showing Green Lamp) to the macbook pro does that effect to the battery live of the macbook pro with Retina Display 15'' ME665
    Also I want know the Best headphone compatible with macbook pro Retina that help me to Hear and Record ?
    Notes ( the macbook pro 15" has just one port for the headphone usually it's tow for record and hear)
    Best Regards,

    The MacBook Pro charging circuit will charge the battery until it reaches 100% charge and then switch to power mode for the MBP.  When the battery drops to 93-95% charge the circuit will switch back to charging mode to top off the battery charge again.  You will not harm the battery or MBP by leaving it plugged in most of the time.
    There are many good headphone/microphone combinations on the market, best really is more a function of how much money you want to spend.  Check those offered in the Apple on-line store for features/price to see what would best fit your needs.  You can also look at audio equipment suppliers, all the earphones need is a standard 3.5 mm plug.

    Hi tecknik!
    I'm so sorry for any trouble with calls and messages! I know how important it is to have a properly working phone. Which iPhone do you have? Please reset the network settings: settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Once that is done, please monitor the device and see if that corrects the issue. What is your zip code?
