My RCA tablet has 110 V DC adapter, does it work in India?

My RCA-VIKING-PRO 10 inches is a 110 V based one.
Can I use it in India where the input is 220 V?

The adapter given is 110 V only and pins that go into the wall mounted power source are also different from the Indian sockets.

I am moving to India shortly, am I to a bond on the tablet here in USA?

Almost all power-supplies made in the last 20 years are "switching" -- that is, they adapt to the voltage they are given.

For example, look at this one, which is for the Viking. See where it says Input: 100-240AC? That means you are cool anywhere in the world.

You will need a Euro-plug adapter like this one to make it actually fit in the socket, about $2.50.

Ignore the commenters muttering about "bursting into flames" or "buying a new charger". I have traveled literally around the world with my tablet and a universal adapter, no voltage converter, and never had a glitch. Worst thing is, some countries, the spring mechanism isn't too reliable and the adapter sometimes falls out of the wall. Quel dommage!
