Hello,
I am trying to make an external power supply that can power my DSLR camera for extended periods (up to 12 hours) so that I can shoot long timelapses. Regular camera batteries only give a few hours, especially in the cold.
The camera can accept 7.4 - 9 V 2.5 A. I have a 15000 mAh battery that supplies 9 V 2.0 A (measured voltage 9.1 V). My question is, should I be using a DC voltage regulator to drop the voltage to something within the range that the camera can accept, and is the Amps difference between the battery supply and the camera an issue?
Any advice on this would be appreciated, I have little experience with electronics. Thanks.
