My understanding ... you want to buy a 110 to use with 240? If so, you
want
to step down from 240 to 110. If it was me, and it was for a boat, I'd get
a
transformer to do that for me ... that way I could accomodate various 110
equipments. For example, when I was in Australia ... at a Radio Shack
there,
I could have aquired a (step down) transformer to accomodate my 110 stuff
(I
got by by asking around and borrowing).

Hi all,

looking to replace my cordless drill on the boat with something a bit
better. I am looking at a panasonic and have found the prices extremely
cheap in the US but I need to get the charger to work with 240 volts not
110volts. Is it possible to modify a battery charger to do this or
would
I
need to use a step up type voltage converter?

TIA
