Argentina - which GBA SP charger do I take?

[gossi the dog]

Right then I'm off to Argentina on Monday. I'll be taking my SP with me and was wondering which charger cable I needed to take with me (I have both a US and a UK one btw). Apparently in Argentina it's 220V at 50Hz. So does anyone know?

Cheers

I seem to remember it was 'I' in that list. Where you staying? (Buenos Aries?)

Its one hell of a flight!

So am I correct in thinking that a UK charger combined with the relevant travel adapter would do the trick? Argentina being 220V at 50Hz, the UK being 230V at 50Hz and the UK charger I believe being one that works between 220V and 240V. Will the fact that live and neutral being wired the other way round in Argentina compared to other countries make a difference?

Yeah I'm flying into Buenos Aires. Spending a few days there, then on to Mendoza, followed by Bariloche in the Lake District and then back to Buenos Aires. The flight is going to take ages. I'm flying via the United States (because it was the cheapest way) and hence it's a good 20 hours from leaving the UK to landing in Argentina.

Sounds about right... UK charger with the right adapter plug.

Why don't you just buy a USB charger cable and charge it in internet cafes when you're emailing home?
