Guam power adapters - what plugs are used in Guam?

Guamanian power outlet

What adapter do I need for Guam?

You'll need to use a Type B plug adapter for Guam if your plug doesn't fit into a Guamanian power outlet.

The type of power adapter, power converter or charger that you'll need when visiting Guam all depend on the voltage and type of device that you're attempting to charge with a Guamanian power outlet. If you're not sure which voltage your device uses then read the section about how can you tell if you have a single voltage or dual voltage device before going any further.

  • If you're from the US visiting Guam then you will not require a power converter or an adapter. One suggestion however is to pack a USB travel power adapter as it allows you to charge multiple devices using only one charger.
  • If your device can run on 110 volts or is dual voltage and your plug fits in a Guamanian power outlet then it should work in Guam without needing anything else.
  • If your device is 110 volts or is dual voltage but your plug doesn't fit in a Guamanian power outlet you'll need a suitable plug adapter for Guam such a Type B plug adapter. Please be aware that a plug adapter for Guam (or power adapter) is designed to change the shape of the plug on your device to fit into a plug outlet found in Guam, but but is unable to change the voltage from 110 volts to a different voltage.
  • If your device doesn't run on 110 volts and isn't dual voltage you will also need a power converter for Guam to convert the voltage from 110 volts to the correct voltage for your device. You'll still need to bring along a suitable plug adapter for Guam if your power converter doesn't have the correct Type B plug adapter.
  • If you simply need to power one or more USB devices such as cell phones or tablets then a USB travel power adapter will be more suited and it should be dual voltage, but make sure that you bring one which includes a Type B plug adapter otherwise you will also need to use a suitable plug adapter for Guam[3] [AD]
  • Increased use of a phone during a trip will create an extra demand on the battery, we suggest bringing a portable charger if you want to recharge your cellphone battery whilst visiting an unfamiliar location.

Warning: If your device won't handle 110 volts you run a risk of an electrical fire hazard, blowing a fuse or damage to your device. Before attempting to use your device in Guam please read the instruction manual to ensure safe operation.

Do I need a power bank for Guam?

A USB power bank

Do I need a power bank for Guam?

It is always advised to bring a power bank to recharge mobiles whilst on a trip.

  • For many the thought of being offline can cause anxiety, especially when being needed abroad. Whilst travelling increased use of smart phones for taking photos, storing calendars, sat nav, social network sharing and staying entertained can syphon off power towards the end of the day. A flat smart phone battery could potentially leave you in an unknown location without adequate power to make an emergency call or being able to use a GPS app to find your way back to hotel. By packing a portable charger for Guam lowers the risk as it means you can keep your cell phone powered on the go.
  • A 10,000mAh power bank can store enough electricity to power over three full charging cycles and a 20,000mAh power bank should keep a typical smart phone charged for roughly seven days. A mAh rating (or milli ampere-hours) shows the capacity of a battery and gives an indication of the number of cycles the power bank can do, and a higher number is more suitable for travellers.
  • If your laptop supports USB-C charging then packing a portable charger for a laptop marked with PD (power delivery) that supplies at least 20Wh can be used to recharge your laptop.
  • Be aware that some airlines prohibit portable chargers on an aircraft that supply 100 Wh of power or more and must be kept in carry-on luggage only.
  • Consumer power banks won't work with high wattage items, although a rechargeable hair dryer or rechargeable cordless flat iron are designed for travelling.    [4] [4] [12] [13] [14] [15] [AD]
How well do solar battery chargers work in Guam?

Solar backpacks are ideal in hot countries

How well do solar battery chargers work in Guam?

The sunshine in Guam should be adequate enough to charge solar power bank dependably, however it will need to be exposed to strong daylight to produce enough power for a single charge cycle. It may prove inconvenient to constantly unpack a solar power bank then wait for it to recharge in sunny spells.

  • The much larger solar cells used on a solar backpack will give the bag the ability to generate more power within a faster period of time, making them ideal for the climate in Guam.
  • A device that has been directly plugged into the USB port of a backpack should gradually top up the power during sunny spells in Guam, however might be inconvenient to have it constantly tethered in the bag during the day if it is to be used frequently. A regular power bank plugged in a solar backpack can be continuously powered up inside the bag during sunlight, afterwards you can power up the phone from the power bank at any time without being attached to the bag.
  • Although the climate in Guam is suitable for solar power, a bag should have a solar cell efficiency of 22% or more, be able to generate at least 6 watts of energy and can be used with a power bank of 10,000mAH or stronger. The flexible and durable solar panels used in solar powered bags are designed to survive scratches and bending, unlike normal solid solar panels. They are found in backpack, messenger and rucksack styles making them perfect for domestic, work and travel.  [4] [16] [17] [AD]

Guam chargers

What is a USB travel power charger?

A USB travel charger is a dual voltage charger with interchangeable plugs and multiple USB ports, suitable for charging multiple USB powered devices when travelling abroad.

What USB charger do I need for Guam?

When travelling to multiple countries the best travel adapter for Guam to buy is a multiple USB port adapter which includes swappable plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. There are two types of wall outlets in Guam (B and A) and using a travel charger like this ensures that you are covered for type A.

As these types of chargers come with interchangeable plugs and handle 100 - 240 volts will mean that you can travel to over 100 countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Africa simply by switching the plugs over. If your model of device can support Fast Charge then you will benefit from faster recharging times by using one of these types of power chargers and additional compatibility with more power hungry devices. This means you can power more than one device at the same time without needing to bring multiple travel chargers or occupying additional power outlets. Only bringing a single lightweight USB travel charger will also keep the overall size and weight down, making it perfect to store in hand baggage while travelling. Because of their space saving versatility these types of power chargers can be used when you return home so when you’re not on holiday they can sit under your bedside table charging multiple phones, tablets and speakers and using just a single plug socket.

For those travelling often we recommend searching for this type of versatile power charger online. The power charger illustrated here is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been tested successfully for recharging multiple USB devices in numerous different countries. [7] [AD]

What USB charger do I need for Guam?

Why use a travel USB charger for Guam?

  • Most travel USB chargers include multiple USB charger ports, this means that you should only need to bring a single charger to charge all your devices. Instead of bringing 4 individual power chargers you only need to pack a single 4 port USB wall charger and power up to 4 separate devices, thereby cutting down on the size and weight of your baggage.
  • All travel USB power chargers should include interchangeable plug heads for different power outlet types. This is ideal if visiting other countries which will probably use a different standard to Guam.
  • Good chargers are lightweight, compact and rugged; perfect for the rigors of travel instead of than risking bringing a domestic charger which might be hard to replace or repair in Guam.
  • USB travel chargers can accept both the 110 volts used in Guam power outlets and different voltage standards across the world.
  • It's possible that some hotels in Guam only have one power outlet, by using a travel charger with multiple USB ports means you can share out the single power supply with family or other traveler instead of waiting to charge one device at a time.
  • Due to their flexible nature they take the worry out of travelling to an unknown country as they are guaranteed to work almost anywhere on the planet.
  • Power outlets found in airports can be scant and demand for charging multiple devices before a flight can be high, so a USB travel charger with multiple ports and the capability to fast charge is perfect.
  • The power grid in some countries can be unstable, a travel charger allows for unexpected spikes and will help prevent damage to any devices attached to it. Attempting to repair an overloaded mobile phone in Guam might prove inconvenient and costly.
  • Premium USB travel chargers will also incorporate power outlet strips to power low wattage domestic appliances such as laptops, however these are unsuitable for high wattage appliances such as hair dryers or clothes irons. Read the guide on using travel appliances in Guam for advice and guidelines on the best power adapter for using a high powered appliances in a Guamanian power outlet.
  • Certain mobile phones could require more than the normal 500 mA produced from a standard 5 volt USB power adapter to charge or provide fast charge. Ensure that the USB power adapter can support fast charging should any of your devices need extra power.
  • On returning home travel USB power chargers can still be used by charging multiple mobile phones on a daily basis using only a single power outlet. [7] [AD]

What is the best USB charger for Guam?

A 4 port USB travel charger is the most compact option for travellers from any country who only have USB devices, but for visitors also wanting to use their domestic plugs these power converters provide larger but more versatile solutions. All 3 power adapters offer surge protection which can be useful for visitors of regions with unstable power grids to prevent damage to any connected devices from voltage spikes. These power adapters come with interchangeable type C, I and G plugs covering Europe, America, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, China and over 150 destinations:

  • BESTEK Portable International Travel Voltage Converter - The BESTEK international travel converter has 4 USB charging ports with 3 AC power outlets and is the most popular portable power converter for travellers originating from America going to Guam using 3 pinned type B US plug sockets.
  • ORICO Traveling Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip - Likewise having 4 USB ports but only 2 AC power outlets the travel adapter from Orico is also aimed at travellers from North America using type B plugs.

  • BESTEK International USB Travel Power Strip - This power strip has 2 AC outlets but offers 5 USB charging ports. This versatile power strip is compatible with both American plugs and popular plug types A, D,E/F, G, H, I, L and N making it perfect for a majority of travellers from around the world visiting Guam. [7] [AD]

Power converters for Guam

What is a power converter?

A power converter will enable you to use a 220-240 volt electric device with a 110 volt Guamanian power outlet.

Also known as: electrical converter, electrical transformer, voltage converter, power transformer or voltage transformer.

What is the difference between a power converter and a power adapter for Guam?

An expensive and heavy power converter converts a 110 volt Guamanian power outlet to work with a non-110 volt appliance, whereas a more lightweight and smaller power adapter (or plug adapter) will change the shape of the plug on your device to fit into a power outlet found in Guam. [18] [AD]

Do I need a power converter for Guam?

When visiting Guam from another country please ensure your device will accept a 110 volt power supply.

  • You need a step up power converter if you are travelling from a country that uses 220-240 volts and your device won't support 110 volts. Read our world power outlets guide to find out the voltage is used in your country.
  • You shouldn't need a power converter if you are already using either a single voltage device that works with 110 volts or one that is dual voltage.
  • Normally devices which originated from a country which use a higher voltage (such as 230 volts) and used in a 110 volt outlet may take longer to charge or simply won't power up. If your device does not power up or charges slowly when you are travelling to Guam from a different country check that it can be used with a 110 volt power supply otherwise you will need to use a step up power converter.
  • You shouldn't need a converter if you need to power a smaller electrical device such as a cell phone as these are typically designed for international use and dual voltage, but you should always check the device for dual voltage support first.
  • When powering high wattage appliances or generate heat (such as hair straighteners or curling irons) then you will need to use a much larger higher wattage heavy duty power converter.
  • Investing a robust lightweight dual voltage travel appliance will be more cost effective and practical than carrying a much heavier high wattage power converter in order to use your existing domestic appliance in Guam.
  • Read our travel guides on how to use clothes irons, curling irons, hair dryers and flat irons in Guam , along with advice on affordable dual voltage alternatives.  [10] [19] [AD]

What kind of converter do I need for Guam?

You need to buy a step up power converter in order to use any 220-240 volt appliance in Guam. [10] [AD]

What is the difference between a transformer and a converter?

Voltage converter

What is the difference between a transformer and a converter?

Converters and transformers are both used to change one voltage to another, but this ambiguity can cause confusion as their purposes are different:

  • Power converters are designed for simple electrical appliances which typically generate heat or use motors such as clothes irons, shavers or hair dryers. Transformers are designed for more complex electronic items such as televisions or games consoles.
  • Buying a power converter is cheaper than buying a power transformer.
  • Power transformers are larger and heavier making them more suited for permanent residential use; for example an expat wishing to use an imported television would need to use a transformer for this purpose.
  • Power converters are more suitable for travellers wishing to bring domestic appliances abroad such as hair dryers or flat irons. However, it is more practical and cost effective to purchase a dual voltage appliance designed for travel rather than a heavier power converter.
  • Power converters are suitable for 2 pin ungrounded appliances, it could be harder to find a converter if you want to use a grounded 3 pin appliance.
  • Transformers can be used constantly however it is recommended that converters are used for no longer than a couple of hours at a time.
  • Shops may sell transformers under the name of converters, for the purposes this guide we will be referring to both converters and transformers as converters.

How to convert 110 volts to 220 volts

  1. Use a step up power converter to allow you to use 220, 230 and 240 volt appliances with a 110 volt Guamanian power outlet.
  2. If the power converter doesn't include the correct shaped plug then it will also be necessary to plug in the power cord from the power converter into a power adapter for Guam before plugging that into a Guamanian power outlet.
  3. Some power converters include the ability to perform both step up and step down voltage conversions, therefore it may be necessary to manually switch the converter to output the voltage from 220-240v.
  4. Plug your appliance into the converter and turn the power on, your 220-240 volt appliance can now be used with a 110 volt Guamanian power outlet. [10] [AD]

What voltage is used in Guam?

Guam uses 110 volts in their normal power outlets. [2]

https://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/
What voltage is my appliance?

Single voltage hair dryer

What voltage is my appliance?

The best method to tell if your device is dual voltage is to look for a sticker on the supplied charger or on the unit itself, typically on the rear or near to where the power cord goes. This location might depend on the make or model of your unit but could also be written on the box or in the instruction manual.

  • Single voltage devices might have a specific number - such as 240V.
  • Single voltage devices could also have a small voltage range (around 20 volts) with a dash to accomodate small voltage fluctuations - such as 100-120V.
  • Dual voltage devices will say a large voltage range separated with a slash - such as 100/240V.

What type of adapter do you need for Guam?

Which type of plug adapter do you need for Guam?

The power converter or plug adapter which is suitable for Guam depends on various requirements. Prior to deciding which one to bring we suggest using the following checklist:

How many electrical items will you be taking to Guam?

Family may need to power devices too

How many electrical items will you be taking to Guam?

  • List how many items you want to bring to Guam (including phones, laptops, eReaders, hair straighteners or clothes irons).
    • Remember to take into account that you might own more electrical devices in the future. Do you intend on buying a new tablet computer next year for example?
    • There is a growing number of rechargeable devices such as electric shavers that use a USB port for their power source. Therefore next time you buy a new device it could need a USB power adapter so remember to check that your travel adapter has enough spare ports to support these too.
  • Will you be travelling with a partner who might need to charge their iPads too?
What different types of electrical items do you need to use in Guam?

Make a list of items to bring

What different types of electrical items do you need to use in Guam?

  • There are 3 types of electrical devices or appliances:
    • Low wattage electrical devices which can be plugged into a power outlet - for example cameras and laptops.
    • High wattage appliances that can be plugged into a power outlet - for example clothes irons and hair dryers.
    • USB powered electrical devices which plug into a USB port - for example cellphones.
  • If you only have to bring along just USB powered devices to Guam then you'll find that a travel USB charger is ideal as you will only have to pack one compact charger plus your charging cables.
  • Travel power strips are built for providing power and voltage conversion for many low wattage devices of any voltage, however unsuitable for high wattage appliances (such as clothes irons) which need voltage conversion.
Will you only be charging USB devices in Guam?

Are you only charging USB items

Will you only be charging USB devices in Guam?

  • Should you only plan on packing devices such as phones or tablets to use in Guam then we suggest just packing a travel USB wall charger.
  • If you only use a simple power plug adapter you will still need to bring the USB power charger that was supplied with your device too. [7] [AD]

Will your devices and appliances only work with a 110 volt power outlet?

How many wall outlets are available in Guam?

Are multiple wall outlets available

How many wall outlets are available in Guam?

  • The accommodation in Guam may have only a single power outlet, this will present an inconvenience if charging up multiple electronic devices such as phones, tablet computers and cameras overnight as you will only be able to recharge a single device at a time every few hours.
  • Should you wish to recharge multiple devices simultaneously then we recommend packing either a travel power strip or USB wall charger which are capable of charging multiple USB ports and outlets. [6] [AD]

Are you planning to visit anywhere abroad in the future?

Does your trip include visits to countries other than Guam?

What is your budget?

  • A cheap power adapter which charges a single device from a Guamanian power outlet (provided that it is dual voltage or is compatible with 110 volts), however investing in a little more allows you to charge more than one device at once and be able to bring them to various countries.

Would you like to use your charger when returning home?

Do you bringing just hand luggage to Guam?

Are you only using hand luggage

Do you bringing just hand luggage to Guam?

Will it take you a long time to fly to Guam?

Arriving at an airport

Will it take you a long time to fly to Guam?

  • If you're taking an extended flight to get to Guam think about an appropriate airport-friendly power charger that works in different outlet types, one that can be carried in hand luggage and can be used to quickly top up phones and tablets prior to a long haul journey.
  • As not all planes and airports have power outlets please think about bringing a battery portable charger for recharging on the go. When you land you could have to rely on a mobile phone for making calls, sending texts, using mapping or recalling an itinerary; therefore it is recommended that your phone has ample power left. [4] [AD]
