Generally, most modern chargers for devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets are designed to work with a range of power frequencies from about 45 Hz to 65 Hz. However, for devices that rely on specific timing based on the mains frequency—such as clocks, some medical equipment, and certain audio devices—the correct frequency is crucial. Using these devices with an incorrect frequency can also cause unexpected behavior. Always check your device's specifications for sensitivity to voltage and frequency variations before using it in a different country or with an unverified power source.
