Do you need a transformer to go from 208 V 60Hz input to 240 V 50Hz output?

Read the battery charger's rating plate: if it says it can be used on 200 - 240 volts running at 50-60 hertz then it should be safe to use.
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

Can a 60Hz transformer be operated on a 50Hz system What actions are necessary to enable this operation?
Only issue would be the losses. Iron losses will be largly affected
60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?
yes
What type of transformer is required to use USA 120V 60Hz make Crock pot in India where the electricity supply is 220V 50Hz?
You will need to use a step down transformer. If an amperage or wattage of the crock pot had been stated, the transformer could have been sized as to what you need. Because the crock pot is a resistive only device the difference in HZ is negligible.
What is meant by antiflicker in campera 50hz and 60hz?
Antiflicker in cameras refers to a feature that reduces the appearance of flickering lights in photographs or videos. The numbers 50Hz and 60Hz refer to the frequency of alternating current used in different regions. Cameras with antiflicker capabilities can adjust their settings to match the frequency and minimize the impact of flickering lights caused by differences in electricity frequency.
Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?
The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz. Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz. Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz. If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.
What is better a plugin charger with an input of 100-240vac 50-60hz 0.15a output 5.0v0.7a or a phone charger with an input of 100v-240v 0.2a 50hz-60hz an output of 5.0v800ma?
The one with the output of 5v 800ma as this will charge devices quicker and overheat less.
Hi I'm a barber. can i buy a transformer that can give an output of 120V and at 60HZ in England. Its for my clippers and trimmers. Is there such thing?
You can get a transformer that converts the UK's 230V power to 120V, but you cannot get a transformer that will convert from 50Hz to 60Hz. Often, US equipment can work, except that they will work hotter and less efficiently on the 50Hz power. Consult your clipper and trimmer documentation - you may find that it will work just fine on 50Hz.
If transformer current 250 amp at 60Hz what will be its current at 50Hz?
Current = voltage x resistance. Therefore the current will be the same, assuming both frequencies are the same input voltage.
Can a transformer that operates on 60hz also operate on 50hz?
Yes, but it may generate more harmonics
What happens to a 220v 50hz stereo amplifier when connected to a 220v 60hz supply?
Nothing happens. The stereo has a transformer that converts the power to DC, and 50 or 60 Hz input makes no difference.
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
Can 60hz transformer be operated at 50hz how?
As per transformer equation,E=4.44 * freq * flux * Turns.So E/ freq =Flux. So when a transformer is designed for 60Hz ,it CANNOT be operated at 50Hz and if operated may create heating effects and core saturation etc. Because E/60< E/50. However the converse condition is true i.e. a 50 HZ transformer can be used for 60Hz application Because E/50>E/60
What AC adapter do you need for your Trek 2200 recumbent stationary bike?

Will a 115V 60Hz work in a 120V 60Hz power supply?
You don't mention what device, but the answer is probably NO. 50hz and 60hz signals will act differently in reactive components such as transformers, coils, capacitors, etc. Paulev is correct that it would act differently on inductive/reactive devices, especially transformers. The device to be discussed here is the transformer as it is most present in all electronic equipment. Based on theories, a 50Hz transformer will perfectly work on a 60Hz Power system but not vice versa. Assuming the transformer's specs are, P=1kVA, L=1H, R~0 ohm. At 50Hz the impedance will be Z=sqrt(Inductive Reactance=2 x Pi x 50 x L), thus the ampacity (Ip=sqrt(P/Z)) of the magnetic wire at the primary is 1.79A. Using the same steps at 60Hz. The current drawn by the the transformer will be 1.63A which is within the ampacity of the magnetic wire. therefore a 50Hz appliance can be used on a 60Hz supply without any problem.
What is impact ampere in 50Hz motor connected to 60Hz?
What effect will be there on the motor (Induction) output power when a 100kW 50hz motor is connected to a 60hz power supply.
Will a 110V 60Hz home theater system bought in the US work in Singapore which uses a 220V 50Hz by just using a voltage transformer?
Your stereo system has an internal transformer in the power supply that is designed to operate at a given frequency. If it is designed to operate at the load your stereo system will use at 50 Hz, then yes. Otherwise this transformer will overheat when connected at the wrong frequency, and will burn out. You might be lucky and the power supply may be labelled to operate at 50 or 60Hz; if not, I recommend contacting the manufacturer. A voltage transformer will convert 50Hz 220 to 50Hz 110. To change frequency, you need special equipment.
