I have a flash-light ( China stuff ) which is charged by a 220V . What gonna happen if I use a 110V to charge that flash-light ?
Is it just merely longer charge time ?

The battery will never charge. The Amperes behind the voltage aren't strong enough.

It will not work right. Your device will not blow away or so, but since you are using the half voltage rated it will never reach the full charge.
Is it using a built-in charger? or is it the kind ones (small black boxes like cell phone chargers) you plug into the wall and into the Flash Light? If so, there might be some hope and you should only get a charger that works for the DC voltage and current required by the flash light. If not, you might try to changer the internal transformer (if it worth the value).
Good luck!

Get your charger and look for a data label. It shows information about the charger but the information that should concern you the most is the allowed voltage range. Your charger should say "AC 100- 240v" and "50-60 hz". If the voltage in Columbia is within this range then it is safe to use the charger. I have a d50 and a d70 and I took it to the old country where the voltage is higher than here in Canada (110v vs 220v) and the charger worked fine. Just enjoy your trip and your camera.

You need a converter that steps 110 up to 220. I don't know what will happen if you try this without it. If you tried the other way (using 220V to charge a 110V battery) you'd risk a fire.

It will not get charged..
The 110V is what is supplied by the electric socket.
Your plug adaptor will not work on 110V as it is designed to take 220V down to 12 or 24v depending on the device specifications.
You will need to get an invertor to take 110V to 220

Not only will it not work, you'll likely blow a fuse/trip a breaker.
