Can I charge camera batteries and other electronic items? What is the electrical current in Peru?
Absolutely! Both on our large boat (the Nenita) and at the Madre Selva Biological Station, both 120 V (US-standard) and 220 V (Peru-standard) outlets are available. Most outlets in Peru consist of two round plugs (below right) but aboard our boat and at the field station, the outlets will accommodate either two round or two flat prongs – just be sure to check to see if the outlet is labeled as 120V or 220V. Most chargers will accept a wide range of voltages – look on the back of the charger where it says “input” – it it reads 110-240V (as shown at right), then you don’t have to worry about the voltage when you plug it in – either 110 or 220 voltage will work fine for your device. If you have three-prong plugs, you will need an adaptor to convert from three to two prongs. The generator aboard the boat and at the field station is not operated 24/7, but we will operate them as necessary to meet charging needs. Generators are usually operating during the evening hours until 10 or 11 PM.
