In Nicaragua, power outlets are of type A and B, similar to USA. A plug adapter is required for type A outlets. B outlets are compatible with your plugs, although they aren't always common in some areas.
Since you'll need a travel adapter for Nicaragua when coming from USA, we suggest opting for a universal power adapter that works in many countries and will also prepare you for future trips.
Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C).
Nicaragua runs on a 120 V electrical system, which is the same voltage standard used in USA.
To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you'll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Nicaragua. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.
