ok this has been an ongoing dilema for gx680 owners for a long while i have

noticed. I just got my 680-II several months ago and i also finnaly had my

only 2 batteries go dead. im no electronics genius by any stretch but i do

know what i have done has proven to work beautifuly and with noooo problems

whatsoever.

this is plain and sweet with no BS.... all i did was solder 2 wires, basicly

the same size wires that are on the inside of a gx battery pack and connect

them to a canon bp-511 battery which will fit most of ther digital slrs (5D, 10-

d etc) to the positive and negative gontacts directly and then i custom cut

the old gx battery pack and mounted the bp511 battery to it and voila! and yes

i soldered directly to the battery i didnt give a shit and no it didnt melt the

plastic. u can figure out ur own way to mount the battery but i dremeled the

battery box and left the prongs and soldered directly to the prongs and the to

the battery and now i can take it on and off and yes i have to desolder it to

recharge it but who cares it cost me all of 10 dollars to buy a soldering gun

as i already had the batteries...

done deal<div></div>
