[QUOTE="assem, post: 615313, member: 43540"] My objectives To run the Camera D7100 on portable normal Power bank instead of the usual Nikon battery. As I leave in poor country and the original battery is expensive and the Chinese battery has really bad quality **My Story I bought from Aliexpress the below item as description it converts 5v/2A to 8.4v/2-4A which should make the camera works. [URL="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5v-usb-drive-cable-Eh5-EP-5B-EP5B-dc-ENEL15-en-el15-8-4v-For-Nikon/32679406288.html?spm=2114.40010308.4.74.7Urhaz"]The link[/URL] I connected converter to DC adapter 5v/2A ,camera worked fine had no problem, until I tried to take a picture in the auto mode with flash ,the camera stopped responding and I had to remove and insert the dummy batter again. I tried the converter with power bank which I knew in the hard way that it’s 5V/1.5A and results for the camera turned on but if I tried to take picture or open the live view, the camera turned off and give me error and I have to reset it to work normally again. my conclusion the convertor works fin if I am able to connected it to power source 5v/2A or higher. And that’s where is your turn guys to help me. Is it safe to use the convertor. Please find the blow pic The converter contains of Step down voltage : KSZ-3R33S (they use it in a reverse way ?!) Capacitor FP5K/3YCK/101/16 [ATTACH=CONFIG]251006._xfImport[/ATTACH] If really safe shall I go with normal power bank with output 5V/2.4 or the new power bank with USB type-c 5v/3A? If the convertor is not save for my camera, can I add fuse or another circuit to protect the camera? All other alternatives are more expensive and it’s hard for me to go for it. [/QUOTE]
