How to check your laptop charger
Look for the "Input" rating on the plug, power brick or the handle near the cable:
- 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz – works anywhere in the world with a plug adapter.
- A switch marked 120/230 or 110/220 – dual-voltage: set it to match the country before plugging in.
- 220–240V only – fine in the UK and Europe, but not on Cuba's 110/220V supply.
Plugs in Cuba

Common questions
Can I use my UK laptop charger in Cuba?
Almost every laptop charger is rated 100–240V (check the small print on the plug or power brick), so it works on the 110/220V supply in Cuba with just a plug adapter. You'll need a universal travel adapter.
What voltage is Cuba?
110/220V at 60Hz. The UK is 230V at 50Hz.
Do I need a voltage converter for my laptop charger?
No, as long as the label says 100–240V – nearly all do.
