Does a European plug fit in a Herzegovinian power outlet?

Tourists in Europe

Does a European plug fit in a Herzegovinian power outlet?

Various countries throughout Europe all use different standards of voltages and power outlet types, so a plug that works with a Herzegovinian power outlet might not function correctly in an electric outlet in another country. If you intend on visiting more than one destination in Europe you can either use a multiple power adapter travel set containing all types of power adapters, or a more convenient international travel plug adapter as both these options should make sure that you are covered for all different power outlet types which you might find in each location. Before travelling check our list of power outlets used in Europe to find out which power converters and adapters you will need during your trip.   [13] [13] [16] [AD]

Are there many power outages in Herzegovina?

There are potentially monthly power outages in Herzegovina.

What is access to electrical power like in Herzegovina?

The entire population of Herzegovina has access to electricity.

Do I need a portable charger for Herzegovina?

Due to problems with the stability of electrical power in Herzegovina travellers should pack backup charging options if they want to continue using devices such as phones or tablets.

  • During a trip increased reliance on mobile phones for storing calendars, taking photos, sat nav, social network sharing and streaming videos can syphon off power before the end of the day. As well as just missed photo opportunities this could possibly leave you without sufficient power to make emergency calls or being able to use a GPS app to get directions to your hotel or accommodation. By packing a power bank for Herzegovina eases those concerns as it allows you to power up your mobile phone on the go, especially when visiting a location with power outages.
  • A 10,000mAh portable charger will store enough power to cover over 3 full charges while a 20,000mAh portable charger should keep a typical cell phone powered for roughly 7 days. The mAh rating (milli ampere-hours) describes the capacity of a battery giving an indication of how many cycles the power bank is capable of.
  • As long as your laptop has a USB-C charging port then a portable charger for a laptop marked with PD (power delivery) which supplies at least 20Wh can be used to recharge the laptop in Herzegovina.
  • However be aware that some airlines prohibit batteries on an aircraft with more than 100Wh of power and must not be left in checked-in luggage.
  • Consumer power banks won't work with high wattage items that generate heat, although a rechargeable hair dryer or rechargeable cordless flat iron can be used for travelling to areas with frequent power cuts such as Herzegovina.    [9] [9] [17] [18] [19] [20] [AD]
Do I need a portable charger for Herzegovina?
Do solar powered chargers work in Herzegovina?

Solar backpack recharging in the sun

Do solar powered chargers work in Herzegovina?

The sunshine in Herzegovina could be suitable for a solar power bank, however may take time to charge. The smaller surface area of the cells means a solar power bank will need to be left in powerful daylight for an extended period of time in order to provide enough power for a single charge, which might prove difficult to constantly unpack a solar power bank then wait for it to recharge between cloud cover.

  • The larger cells found on a solar backpack will give the bag the ability to create more power within a shorter period of time, and could generate some charge during overcast weather.
  • A phone that has been plugged directly into the USB port of a solar backpack should trickle charge the power during sunny periods in Herzegovina, but this might prove inconvenient to have the phone continually connected in the bag should it be used constantly. A regular power bank plugged into a solar backpack can be constantly recharged inside the bag during the day, afterwards you can recharge your phone using the power bank at any time.
  • A bag that is suitable for Herzegovina should have a solar cell efficiency of 22% or greater, be able to generate a minimum of 6 watts of power and includes a compatible power bank of 10,000mAH or greater.
  • They are available in rucksack, laptop messenger and backpack styles which makes them perfect for domestic, travel and work use. The durable and flexible solar panels used in solar powered bags have been designed to endure bending and scratching, unlike normal rigid solar panels.  [9] [21] [22] [AD]

Herzegovina 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 Herzegovina?

If you are travelling to more than one country or bringing more than one device then the best travel charger for Herzegovina to buy is a multiple USB adapter which includes swappable plugs such as a 4 port USB travel charger. There are two standards of wall outlets in Herzegovina (F and C) and bringing this ensures that you are covered for type C.

Because these types of chargers are supplied with interchangeable plugs and handle from 100 to 240 volts will mean you can travel to over 100 countries in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa simply by changing the heads. If your device can support Fast Charge then you will benefit from much quicker charging times by using one of these USB power adapters along with compatibility with certain power hungry devices.

Unlike other adapters this will allow you to power more than one device at once without needing to bring seperate travel chargers on your trip or using up additional power sockets. Because you are only needing a single USB travel charger will help keep the overall weight down, making it ideal to fold up and store in hand baggage while travelling as well as being suitable for charging your devices at the airport or on your flight. Due to their space saving flexibility these types of power adapters can be used back at home not just abroad so when you’re not travelling they can sit overnight charging multiple smartphones and tablets with just a single wall outlet.

We recommend buying an adaptable travel charger of this nature at your preferred electronics retailer. The travel charger illustrated below is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been successfully tested for powering multiple USB devices in numerous countries around the world on a daily basis. [2] [AD]

What USB charger do I need for Herzegovina?

Why use a travel USB charger for Herzegovina?

  • Most travel USB chargers include 4 or more USB charger ports, meaning you should only need to bring one charger to charge all your devices. It helps reduce the size and weight of your luggage by only bringing a single USB wall charger instead of needing to bring several individual USB chargers with you.
  • All travel USB chargers will include interchangeable plug heads for various regions. This is suitable if travelling to different countries which are likely to use a different standard to Herzegovina.
  • A good power charger is compact, rugged and lightweight; ideal for the rigors of travel rather than risking packing a domestic charger which might be impossible to repair in Herzegovina.
  • USB travel chargers will accept both the 230 volt power outlets in Herzegovina along with different voltage standards in other countries.
  • There is a possibility that some hotel rooms in Herzegovina might only have one wall outlet, by bringing a travel charger with multiple USB ports means you can share the single power supply with all your devices rather than waiting to charge each device one by one.
  • Due to their flexible nature a travel USB charger takes the worry out of visiting any unknown destination as they are guaranteed to work almost anywhere on the planet.
  • Power outlets found in airports are often sparse and demand for charging multiple cell phones during departure can be high, so a USB travel charger with multiple ports and the ability to fast charge is perfect.
  • The power grid in some countries can be unstable, a good travel USB charger allows for unexpected fluctuations and prevents damage to any devices attached to it. Trying to repair an overloaded cell phone in Herzegovina could prove difficult and expensive.
  • Larger USB chargers should also incorporate power outlet strips to allow you to power multiple low powered domestic appliances such as laptops, but note these will be unsuitable for high wattage domestic such as hair dryers or clothes irons. See the section on using travel appliances with a Herzegovinian power outlet for guidelines and advice on the best power adapter for a high powered appliances with a Herzegovinian power outlet.
  • Some tablets and cellphones could pull more than the usual 500 milliamps produced from a normal 5 volt USB power adapter to charge or provide fast charge. Higher priced USB travel chargers will support fast charging incase any of your devices draw extra power.
  • Travel USB chargers can still be useful when returning home by charging multiple mobile phones and tablets overnight using only one power outlet. [2] [AD]

What is the best USB charger for Herzegovina?

A 4 port USB travel charger is the most compact option for travellers from any country wanting to charge devices using USB, however for visitors also wishing to use their domestic plugs these power adapters provide larger but more versatile solutions. All three power adapters offer surge protection which is necessary for travellers to counties with unreliable power supplies to prevent damage to any connected devices. These travel adapters are supplied with interchangeable type C, I and G plugs covering Continental Europe, America, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, China and over 150 countries around the world:

  • BESTEK Portable International Travel Voltage Converter - The BESTEK international travel adaptor has 4 USB charging ports with 3 AC power outlets and is the most popular portable power adapter for travellers originating from North America going to Herzegovina using 3 pin type B plug sockets.
  • ORICO Traveling Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip - Also having 4 USB ports but only 2 AC power outlets the travel adapter from Orico is also aimed at travellers originating from America using type B plugs and is a cheaper alternative to the BESTEK with only 1 less AC outlet for almost half the price.
  • BESTEK International USB Travel Power Strip - This power strip has just 2 AC outlets but offers a more flexible 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 most travellers from around the world visiting Herzegovina. [2] [AD]

Power converters for Herzegovina

What does a power converter for Herzegovina do?

A power converter for Herzegovina enables you to use a 100-120 volt electrical device with a 230 volt Herzegovinian 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?

A lightweight, cheap and small power adapter (or plug adapter) will change the shape of the plug on your device to fit into a power outlet in Herzegovina, but an expensive and bulkier power converter transforms the voltage of 230 volts from a Herzegovinian power outlet to work with a non-230 volt device. [14] [AD]

Do I need a power converter for Herzegovina?

If you are visiting Herzegovina from another country ensure that your device will accept a 230 volt power supply.

  • A step down power converter is needed if you are travelling from a country that uses 100-120 volts and your appliance or device isn't compatible with 230 volts. See our list of world power outlets guide to see which voltage is used in your country.
  • You won't need a power converter if you are already using either a 230 volt appliance or one that is dual voltage.
  • Normally devices which are designed to use a lower voltage (for example 110 volts) and then used with 230 volts run a risk of damage to your device, an electrical fire hazard or a blown fuse.
  • You don't need a converter if you wish to charge a smaller electrical device such as a tablet or mobile phone as these are typically designed for international use and support dual voltage, however you should always check the device for dual voltage support first.
  • If powering appliances which draw more power or generate heat (such as hair dryers or clothes irons) then you will need to use a more expensive higher wattage heavy duty power converter to allow it to be used with a 230 volt Herzegovinian power outlet.
  • Buying a smaller robust dual voltage travel appliance could be more cost effective and practical than bringing a heavier high wattage power converter just to use your existing domestic appliance in Herzegovina.
  • For more information read our comprehensive guides on using clothes irons, curling wands, flat irons and blow dryers in Herzegovinian power outlets which includes advice for affordable dual voltage alternatives.  [6] [14] [AD]

What converter do I need for Herzegovina?

If you wish to use any 100-120 volt appliance in Herzegovina you need to use a step down power converter[14] [AD]

What is the difference between a converter and a power transformer?

Voltage converter

What is the difference between a converter and a power transformer?

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 230 volts to 110 volts

  1. Use a step down power converter to allow you to use a 110 or 120 volt appliance with a 230 volt Herzegovinian 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 Herzegovina before plugging that into a Herzegovinian 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 to the 110-120 volt range.
  4. Plug your appliance into the converter and turn the power on, your 110-120 volt appliance can now be used with a 230 volt Herzegovinian power outlet. [14] [AD]

What voltage does Herzegovina use?

Herzegovina uses 230 volts in their normal power outlets. [8]

How to tell the voltage of my device

Single voltage hair straighteners

How to tell the voltage of my device

The easiest way to see if your appliance is either single or dual voltage is to look for a sticker on the existing charger or on the appliance itself, typically on the rear or near to where the power cord plugs into. This location will depend on the make or model of your appliance and could also be written in the instruction manual or on the box.

  • Single voltage devices might have a specific number - such as 110V.
  • Single voltage devices could also say a small voltage range (20 volts difference) with a dash to accomodate small voltage fluctuations - such as 100-120V.
  • Dual voltage devices will normally say a large range separated with a slash - such as 110/240V.

What type of adapter do you need for Herzegovina?

Which type of adapter will you need to bring to Herzegovina?

The plug adapter or power converter that is best to use in Herzegovina depends on various requirements. Before choosing which adapter to use we suggest using the following checklist:

How many devices will you be packing for Herzegovina?

How many devices will you be bringing

How many devices will you be packing for Herzegovina?

  • List all the electrical items you want to pack for Herzegovina (for example tablets, mobile phones, eReaders, hair dryers or clothes irons).
    • Remember to allow for more electrical items in the future. Are you thinking about buying a new mobile phone computer soon?
    • There is an increasing amount of USB powered rechargeable electronics such as electric shavers that utilise a USB port as a power source, the next time you have to replace a device it could use a USB power adapter so remember to ensure your travel adapter has enough spare ports for these additional items too.
  • Are you also bringing a partner to Herzegovina that might need to recharge their phones too?
Are you only charging USB devices in Herzegovina?

Will you only bring USB devices

Are you only charging USB devices in Herzegovina?

What types of electrical devices do you need to charge?

A USB powered phone

What types of electrical devices do you need to charge?

  • There are 3 different types of electrical devices or appliances:
    • Low wattage electrical items which plug into a power outlet - for example laptops and cameras.
    • High wattage electrical appliances that plug into a power outlet - for example curling irons and hair straighteners.
    • USB powered devices which charge with a USB port - for example mobile phones.
  • If you only have to take just USB powered devices to Herzegovina you'll find that a travel USB wall charger is ideal because you'll only have to bring one charger with appropriate charging cables.
  • A travel power strip is built for powering and converting voltage for many low wattage devices, but won't work with high wattage appliances which require voltage conversion.

Do your devices only work with 230 volt power outlets?

Will your trip include visits to countries other than Herzegovina?

  • A simple power adapter only operates in a single country that it was designed for, so if you need to travel to more than just one country you may need to pack additional plug adapters which can add to the number of adapters you have to carry.
  • However, universal travel adapters and travel USB wall chargers are made for travelling to multiple countries becuase of their interchangeable heads.
How many wall outlets are available when you get to Herzegovina?

Are multiple wall outlets available

How many wall outlets are available when you get to Herzegovina?

  • Hotels may offer only one power outlet. This will be a problem if recharging batteries of more than one electronic item overnight because you will only be able to charge a single device at a time then need to keep swapping after each device has finished charging.

  • With long journeys consider packing a convenient charger which is ideal for airports that can be used with different power outlet types, one that can be packed in hand luggage and can quickly top up phones and tablets right prior to an extensive flight.
  • Not all flights actually have power outlets therefore we recommend packing a portable charger which will recharge on the go. After arriving you could need to rely on a mobile phone to make telephone calls, messenging, using mapping or reading your itinerary; ensure that your phone has enough charge left. [9] [AD]
