    most modern chargers will accept 240 or 110 volts input. so you will just need an adaptor for the american plug.

    check you charger data plate.
    Get some gorm.

    usually stuck on the back of the charger!
    it should show the input ac voltage and the output dc volts.

    it says input: ac110v - 240v, so guess it is ok, do you know where to purchase a cheap usa adapter?

    That's fine, just buy a "travel pack" which normally has a 13 amp to US 2 pin plug. Plenty of stores sell them. have a nice holiday..........
