result: 4.5 volt charger, not 5 volt?
On the 24th of March I posted the following, and many of you had opinions,
so I thought I'd let you know the result of my test: Yes, the cheap COBY device, set to 4.5 volts, works just fine. The camera's "charging" light goes on for about 1/2 hour, then goes out. The battery indicator then shows the battery to have a full charge. Thanks, all who helped. Paul "P Hoberg" wrote in message news:sWOUf.117$Fl.99@fed1read09... I have 3 FujiFilm digital cameras that all use the same type of 5 volt chargers. One of the chargers is missing, and I want to give my oldest camera to my daughter. I can only find 4.5 volt universal chargers that fit the camera's plug-in. I can set the polarity correctly. Will the slightly lower voltage damage the camera? Will it be sufficient to recharge the battery? I hesitate to "just try it" because of the possible damage. "P Hoberg" wrote in message news:%F_Uf.148$Fl.40@fed1read09... FujiFilm MX-700. Battery is model no. NP-100 - Lithium Ion 3.6v 1350mAh. And, yes, I plug the charger into any of my 3 cameras to charge their batteries. I have purchased a COBY universal adapter CA-11, that is one integrated unit with the polarity and voltage switches on the transformer, so are less likely to be accidentally changed. One of the 4 rigidly connected male jacks fits the camera female exactly. So I'll give it a try. I'll let you all know if smoke is emitted! Thank you for the help. |
