Will my battery charger work in Peru?
I have a Canon SD 500 camera with a charger for the battery. I have been told that Peru has the same plugs as the United States but they have 220 Volts current instead of 120 Volts here in the United States. The back of the charge says 100V-240V 50/60 Hz Can I use my camera battery charger in Peru? Will I be able to plug it into the wall in Peru?

It seems that your battery is dual voltage therefore, you can absolutely use your charger in Peru. You will not need to buy or rent a transformer to use it because it conforms to U.S, European, and Peruvian standards. The only thing you will need is an adaptor plug which will allow you to plug the battery into the Peruvian socket. Adaptors are very inexpensive and you can find them on ebay or circuit city and such stores.

Hi, I traveled through Peru and just used a standard European charger for my camera. The great thing about these south American countries is that you can pick up all the power cables very cheaply in street markets. Good luck, you'll love it out there.
