Powering the HVX with A/C
Not to beat a dead horse, but I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
Maybe I've just forgotten how to read, or I'm even more ignorant than I give myself credit for ;) When powering the HVX from an A/C outlet, page 17 of the HVX User Manual shows how to connect the battery adapter to the cam. However, located within the cam body, there is also a "DC Input Terminal" for 7.9 V. (See "Description of Parts", pg 12, item 30). Obviously that's for a direct DC power feed. Is there a typical "brick" adapter/converter that allows use of that terminal? Might using it cause some damage or other problem? I have some Spec Comm batteries and their charger. I noticed there is an empty spot in the charger for a 7.9 V terminal, but that's not the model I got. Did I screw up by not getting that model? |
I have two Panasonic charger/AC supplies which both work with the 200. Both of them come with a 'paddle' that mates with the battery socket. But I'm sure there are aftermarket AC-to-DC power supplies that output 7.2v (despite the stated 7.8, 7.2v will work on the HVX) to a ring-sleeve connector. They were probably just trying to offer another means of providing power. The advantage of the paddle is that it clicks into place like a battery. A ring-sleeve plug wouldn't.
