Hello,
I would like to know if I can plug the charger for drod x directly into an electrical outlet overseas (i.e south america) without it getting damaged? If so, do I need to take a power surge plug with me to utilize as well. Thanks in advance
your gonna need an adapter
most contries dont use the same as the us
check the countries your going to be going to and see what thye use
the US is 120v 60hz
Check the charger. The one I have here at work says:
100-240V~ / 50-60 Hz
If yours also says that, it will work fine. You may need a plug adapter to change the US style plug (NEMA 5-15) to whatever is used in the particular countries you'll be visiting. Looks like South America is quite the mishmash of voltages/frequencies/plug types.

The charger I have at home (the type the USB cable plugs into) is marked the same. You should be good to go with only a plug adapter.
