Quite true as far as Canon battery are concerned, however there are many folks that buy after market battery for a fraction of the cost of the Canon ones and they last about 75% of the amount of time as a Canon. What ever you have make sure that you have the appropriate hardware to cover it. One thing that has not been mentioned is the power serge's that can happen and they are a lot more than 220V. Depending on the type of converter some of them can act as a serge protector, some not. Also as I mentioned in your original thread and neuroanatomist (John) mentioned here their outlets are not the same as ours and in some countries they are not standardized so different connectors are sometimes needed to handle the recharging all within the same country.
Godspeed & have a safe and pleasurable trip
