Hello
I will travel to South America (Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru). Do they have the same adapter like the USA? I'm living in the UK and just can find adapters for America...

Thanks for helping

I can't recall all of them but I do know that Ecuador and Peru are the same as North America. Can't recall Bolivia cuz my recharger broke before then so I didn't have to plug anything in. Argentina is a 2 prong that is angled...much different than North America. Reply to this

I bought a Sony charger in Argentina and it has the same prongs as Australia (H) by the looks of it. Reply to this
