“I checked the battery charger, not just the camera body; the charger was the part connecting directly to Saint Martin’s 230 V supply.”
— camera-bag check before Puerto Rico
Will my camera battery charger work on Saint Martin’s power supply?
For Saint Martin, verify the exact camera equipment instead of relying on a country-level assumption. Start with the battery charger or USB-C wall adapter, not the camera body. Saint Martin supplies 230 V at 60 Hz through C · E outlets. A charger whose INPUT range includes the local supply can handle the electrical side of the trip.
Older proprietary chargers deserve special attention: a 100–120 V-only unit is not a Saint Martin travel charger even if a passive adapter makes the pins fit. Many newer chargers are 100–240 V, but the printed label is what separates the two cases. Across different accommodations in Saint Martin, a tested camera power setup is easier to repeat.
Saint Martin power: C · E · 230 V · 60 Hz
See the Saint Martin power plug guide →Which camera charger plugs need an adapter in Saint Martin?
The C · E outlet family answers plug fit for a camera, not whether it accepts 230 V. For plug fit, compare the AC side of every charger in the camera bag with C · E. A detachable wall lead can sometimes be swapped for a local-compatible cable. In Puerto Rico, that may be tidier than adding an adapter behind a bulky two-battery charger.

A hotel-room workaround in Saint Martin should not replace checking dedicated charging versus USB-C before departure. USB-C can simplify a Saint Martin camera kit when the body supports the required charging mode.

The right choice depends on the camera’s USB behavior, charging speed and how long you expect to shoot away from the hotel.
How to read a camera charger label for Saint Martin

Once avoiding an unnecessary converter is confirmed for Saint Martin, extra conversion hardware is easier to avoid. A converter is usually the wrong tool for a modern universal-input camera charger.

If an old proprietary charger does not, a manufacturer-approved wide-input replacement is often a simpler travel solution than building the photo kit around conversion hardware.
