I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question, but here goes. I am shipping a cordless 18volt drill overseas to the Philippines. I know that they use 240 volt 60Hz wiring. My question is this: should I send a transformer with it or a voltage converter. I understand the difference between the two, I just don't know which type would be best suited for recharging the battery. I learned the hard way that you don't hook up a coffee urn type pot that draws 1000 watts to a 300 watt transformer. I just don't know if a battery charger for a drill uses a lot of wattage. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
