Re: Anxiously awaiting image capacity and weight of external battery/cables/adapters

The question is whether it makes more sense to just buy more standard Sigma (ricoh) batteries, or to make this external battery pack. Cost and weight are considerations - the external battery might be used for multiday off-grid camping trips.

Nancy,

the Anker Astro 3 has a listed weight of 10 oz and cost $60.

the 3ft StarTech TypeH cable is $3 and very light of course.

I put the AA3 in my coat pocket or the back pocket of my jeans. at 10KmAh I am guessing about 6-7 time the capacity of a battery. I guess I can fire off 500 shots of my backyard and kids to see how much power my 2M will suck from it.

BTW, both the AA3 and Cable can be found on Amazon.
