Regarding the Wasabi charger--for the Sony A6000--can it be used overseas (Europe) with just a plug adapter, or does one need a current converter also?

What do the voltage numbers on the charger say?

Any thing that runs on a different current than the local either has to have a built in converter or an external one to plug into.
According to the specs on Amazon the charger is good for up 120 - 240v.

All the chargers I've seen are good for 120-240V and 50/60Hz so they can make one model usable world-wide with only a change of plug/adapter.

You may mean a voltage converter, not a current converter. Most chargers cover both US and European ranges -110/120 to 220/240 v. The manual for mine says that using a converter may damage the charger.

My Wasabi double charger has a USB cord. I use it with one of those small 'sugar cube' USB chargers. All you need for Europe is a plug adapter to plug the USB charger into. Get a multi adapter - various pins fold or slide out. UK / Ireland use a three rectangular pin plug, the continent is mostly round two pin but some sockets have different grounding arrangements which may prevent inserting the two pin plug into the socket. Get an 'all in one' multi adapter'.

You just need the correct plug adapter.

Yes. Just use the adapter plug that was included with your charger.

If the charger is rated for up 120 - 240v, you probably only need a plug adapter.

Mot modern chargers correct for the voltage just need the right adapter plug

It seems just about all electronic devices produced today accommodate 120/240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. As for Wasabi, at least the 3 different chargers I have, do accommodate dual voltages and frequencies, but also have a 12 VDC socket and adapter to plug into a car cigarette lighter.

Here is a worldwide list of voltages/frequencies along with information on prevailing plug types.

For me that has always been a bugaboo, finding the right adapter. And Europe is a mad house. There are 7 different types of plugs found around Europe and parts of the former Soviet Bloc. As for adapters, here is a set that looks to fill most of your needs in Europe.

Hint - since most if not all chargers are designed to plug right into the wall, and these adapters might tempt you to just attached them to the charger and plug in as you usually would, save yourself the frustration of having them fall right out of the wall socket, by using a small extension cord between the charger and adapter. Just sayin' from experience.
