Answer
This is very dependant on the charger marking.

Most but not all are rated from 100 to 240VAC as well as 5060Hz AC. But unless I have the charger in hand to read the label or a full part number you are stuck with what's on the product page.

If maker and seller won't answer pre-sales questions, it's not a good sign.

Even there I have to read specs and ask questions if it's not listed.
