I'll be going to the states for a month-long holiday, and I bought a transformer to step-up the 110V power supply in the states to 220V so that I can charge my NiMH AAs and my mobile phone batt. My NiMH AA battery charger fits nicely into the transformer. However I just realised that the transformer I bought (a cheapo one) has only a two-pin outlet, and the charger of my mobile phone has three pins, so it won't fit into the transformer.
So I was thinking, what if I charge my mobile directly (I have an adaptor to convert from the US pins to the Singapore type) at 110V, will there be a risk? Effectively the power supplied is halved, so theoretically the only side effect is that the charging time will be doubled. That's ok since my mobile charges in 1 hr typically.
What I want to ask is, is the longer charging time the only risk? Or will there be other damages to my mobile phone if I charge it at 110V? Thanks in advanced!
