Alex_Es Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Anyway, the information is fascinating. Question. Have you done this yourself and used the batteries in an M6, MP or M7? If so, how long did the batteries last? Thanks for sharing. OT: I can make hypertext via Word, but wonder if there is another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael s. Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Alex - You type the following: <a href=exact url of linked page here>descriptive blah-blah</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael s. Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Then of course don't forget to select "HTML" from the drop-down menu before you "Submit." Preview shows your link and enables you to test it as well. If if works, you "Confirm." If not, go back. You made a boo-boo somewhere along the path.

awahlster Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 This is news? You mean everyone didn't know batteries are all 1.5V (unless NiCad etc.) Any cell with a higher voltage then 1.5V is made up of smaller cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_ilomaki7 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have opened some computer battery packs and fond many 1.5 v AA sized cells in series parallel configuration to give the required voltage and current. Take a look. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles_s. Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 @Mark W, why do photographers need to understand chemistry? It is not like they rely on it. This thread reminds me of when I had to explain to someone that you can't vary the wavelength of a laser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_m1 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ken, thank you so much for the link! I've been fed up for so long paying outrageous prices for each battery, in individual packages, for my M6 TTL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny_c Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 I've heard the $5 button cells are silver oxide, but the ones in Energizers are alkaline? Is there a significant difference in that though? I have yet to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
