The depends on the current drawn by the 240 Volt battery charger.
Some appliances, such as small battery chargers, small "voltage converters" for international travel, electric shavers, etc., have been designed to run safely on different supply voltages. The appliance's label or "rating plate" will state the range of voltages it can safely be used on.
Whilst a small appliance like that will work fine as long as it was made to handle the lower voltage, it's not possible to use a small "voltage converter" for international travel with high-powered appliances such as 220 - 240 Volt electric kettles. The reason is because the current they draw is much too high.
Larger 220 - 240 Volt appliances having powers from (say) 100 - 200 Watts (which may be the case for a large battery charger) to 2000 Watts (2kW) or more, like an electric kettle, would need an expensive item called a "Transformer" or "Auto-transformer" to enable them to be used on a 120 Volt supply.
Such Transformers are much bigger - and heavier - than the small "voltage converters" that are available for international travel. Large transformers are also much more expensive: they can cost from US$100 upwards, even second-hand, depending on the power to be converted.
So most folks would just buy a 120 Volt appliance locally in the 120 Volt area. After all, a cheap electric kettle can cost less than US$20 and a really fancy one can be bought for under US$100.

Do electric golf carts require 110 volt or 220 volt outlet?
Electric golf carts operate from a DC voltage supply which is supplied by batteries. These batteries have to be charged on a regular basis. The voltage the battery charger operates on is governed by the manufacturer of the battery charger. Check the nameplate on the charger to see what voltage AC is required. Usually the chargers operate on 110 volts, but in some high capacity chargers they will operate on 220 volts. The nameplate will tell you what voltage is needed to operate the charger. That depends on the charger being used. Either is available.
How do you charge a ttr 110 motorbike battery?
With a 12 volt battery charger set to around 5 amps. Do not overcharge if it is not an automatic charger.
Can you use 110 volt batteries charger here in Australia?
Not unless you have a 110 volt supply to plug it in to. The standard General Power Outlet in Australia is 240 volts AC at 50 Hertz.
How large a 110 volt generator is needed for a 40 amp 12 volt battery charger?
amps*volts=watts 40 amps *12 volts= 480watts watts/volts=amps 480watts/110volts=4.36363636amps So you need a 110 volt generator that can produce about 5 amps as a bare minimum. To take into account system heat loses that occur when converting power consider doubling it to be safe. (this is over kill but the advantage is that your generator is not working at full capacity at all times)
Can you operate a 208 volt on 110 volt?
The United States is one of the only places in the world that uses 110 volts instead 220 volts. In order to operate 208 volts on a 110 volt electrical current, you will need a voltage converter.
Can you use a 240 volt phone charger on 110 volts?
It might work but it would take a lot longer to charge the phone up and the charger might well get damaged due the impedance caused by the different AC Frequency, so it is not adviseable to try it. Doing it the other way round i.e. plugging a 110 volt charger into a 220 volt input wou;d almost certainly make the charger inoperative for ever more.
Can 110 volt be used for 115 volt?
Yes - usually house voltage varies from 110 to 120 volts.
How do you wire 220 volt from 2 110 volt lines. you have a concessions stand that is wired for 220 but everywhere you have been lately just keeps giving you 2 - 110 volt line?
If you combine two 110 volt power lines it does not give you 220 volts, the voltage will be the same. The only way to turn 110 volts into 220 volts is with a step-up transformer.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
Are electric blankets 110 volt and 220 volt or just 110?
Typically they are either 220V or 110 volts not both. Plugging a 11o volt blanket to a 220 volt line has a huge risk of fire.
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
Can 110 volt apliance work on 220 volts circuit?
NO - that is dangerous.
