I will be shortly going on vacation to Bonaire.  The juice there
is 128 volts! Not a whole lot of difference from 110, but enough
to burn out my battery recharger.  I have been told that converters
for 128 to 110 don't exist.  Buying regular double AA's is almost
out of the question - I would need about 150 of them. (For an underwater
strobe, for those interested. 8 batteries per dive, lots of dives.)

Any suggestions?
