Hey guys and gals need some help I have a Sony RX100V that I use for slow motion video but the battery being a tiny little sucker doesn’t last very long.
I purchased a dummy battery pack and made a 3.7v external battery pack.
NP-BX1 Dummy Battery Pack DK-X1 DC Coupler For Sony DSC-RX1 DSC-RX100 RX1R | eBay
When I insert the dummy battery to the camera and connect it to the battery pack then turn the camera on it starts up then I have to enter the language and date and time then it turns off every time, and I have tried a thousand times.
I have tested the battery pack at the dummy battery terminals and it reads correct at 4.8v which is what the Sony battery tests at fully charged.
I’ve been told to use a USB power supply but I’m reluctant to try that because a USB power supply is 5 volt.
Thoughts and suggestions please.
Alan
