Have a look at the back of your power pack. I'd be suprised if it didn't
say something like "Input 110-240V`50/60Hz" In other words it doesn't
care if its getting the American 110Vac or the 230Vac the rest of the
world uses.

You'll probably still need an adaptor though as the plugs and sockets
will be different.
