Hi,
I bought a video camera Cannon Legria FS200 but I lost the charger which had a USB end. I have a charger for a car vacuum with a similar voltage (9.6) and I wanted to cut a USB cable and connect the end to the vacuum charger. What I have done is connect the USB black and red cable to the red and black from the charger but it does not seem to charge ( I checked before the polarity with my tester). I have then removed the battery and connect directly the red cable to the + and the black to the - as printed in the battery pack ( 7.4v)but the battery does not seem to take charge. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
