12V in europe also
Would 3V or 4.5V at 1.5A be good or would it do damage to the camera

QuoteWould 3V or 4.5V at 1.5A be good or would it do damage to the camera4.5V at 1.5A is perfect.Buy a diode capable of handling 1.5A just in case you need to drop the voltage a little bit, which I doubt.I would be interested in the details or a link to the store if it is a national chain.David
Try it with the diode fitted to begin with.
Here is a link to the device on their page:
what would happen if the 0.2V difference is too much?
I'm also not sure how to use a diode, would I have to use a soldering iron or something?
And is it because You think the voltage might be too much?

Quotewhat would happen if the 0.2V difference is too much? At the very most the power-supply protection circuit would shutdown the camera.
QuoteI'm also not sure how to use a diode, would I have to use a soldering iron or something?Yes, you solder it the correct way around in the +ve lead of the power-supply.
Quote And is it because You think the voltage might be too much?Yes, but that does not blow-up the camera !Do you have an image of what this 'fake battery' looks like ?David
the thing (farthest to the right in the image) that looks like a battery in the ACK-DC30 kit:
I use the camera with 3V, would it work?
Does the voltage of the battery normally drop as the battery empties
Quote from: whatevertsunami on 03 / December / 2009, 15:31:46the thing (farthest to the right in the image) that looks like a battery in the ACK-DC30 kit:That is perfect.One of the DC power plugs supplied with your 12V module should fit directly in.
QuoteI use the camera with 3V, would it work?No, but that is one of the outputs of the module so you can try that first.
QuoteDoes the voltage of the battery normally drop as the battery emptiesThere are many types of batteries but the voltage of the ones used in modern cameras hardly changes.
Too bad the shop is closed
