<p>I realize this is old thread.... But I have started undertaking this project so I don't have to rent a battery pack for some charity events I shoot and wanted to share a case I found for the the battery at my local tiger direct/compu-usa store for $5. It is actually a Canon case for the FS series video cameras, but the battery slides perfectly into the case with room at the top for the wiring connections and I am actually thinking of building removable connection point on the case itself. That said, looking around the 'net, I find that most places report these as unavailable or out of stock or a $30 price tag. <br>

Question for the group, is what charger is available at a reasonable cost to provide a three hour full charge? I am guessing that's about a 6v 1.5a charger based on the battery being a 4a model.</p>

I am trying to locate a lab in Manhattan, NY that can produce some 20"x30"

prints and do museum mounts for a client there. I have a local lab that can do

it, but the shipping is going to be too expensive for the non-profit client

(debra.org). I volunteer to do the shooting. They are a registered 501-3©

non-profit if someone wanted to donate the prints for a tax break. Any

suggestions appreciated.
