Would a external battery pack and a dummy battery work?

[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 690041, member: 15805"] Nikon's website has the battery at 7.4 volts. I don't see much reason 7.2 won't work. But [B]20,000MaH[/B]? Dang, that's HUGE!!!! If'n I really need that much capacity, I'd consider stocking up on 3.7v 26650 LiIons with solder terminals and building my own pack. Get name brands. Current technology has the max output at around 5000 MaH. So 4 of 'em wired in series/parallel would get you there. My guess is you're wanting to run the camera a long time (ie, time-lapse). So current flow won't be a problem. But if you're going to run them 'hot' (high current), I'd go 8 or 10 batteries to really keep the heat down. [/QUOTE]
