--I am planning to go on a trekking trip which means that I will have
no access to power source for about 15 days. I have 2 Canon
rechargeable batteries, which in this case means that is good for
maybe, 3-4 days only.
Does anyone have or know of a battery solution for such a
situation? Thanks.
No, cos it is in the Himalays!Will you have access to vehicle batteries during this trip?

I have seen/raed about a mini solar charging unit somewhere, but I do not know where. Try to make a search with Google! Sorry, can not help more.No, cos it is in the Himalays!Will you have access to vehicle batteries during this trip?

I am thinking along the same line but could not find anything in the market that I can adapt to an external battery pack of AA's.Your best bet seems to be making use of the AC power adaptor and
plug those RC type battery to it.
Interesting. However the website did not list what batteries it will charge. I will try to contact them to find out more. Thanks.I have seen/raed about a mini solar charging unit somewhere, but INo, cos it is in the Himalays!Will you have access to vehicle batteries during this trip?

--There are a number of ways to carry "power' with you such as external power packs but none would be as reliable or as efficient as the batteries designed for the camera.the other consideration is obviously weight as you would have to carry any dead batteries out with you,its not good practice to throw dead AAs away as you go.the power to weight of the camera batteries is considerably better than any batteries you might use in an external pack and IMHO you should carry an extra camera battery or two,I know these are not cheap but will give you peace of mind .Have a great Trip gary ng

I know that several people tried the DIY approach. As far as I
know, the AC power adaptor has a standard 'audio plug' like
interface. You can just get the appropriate RC battery and match
with the necessary wire plug(all in Radio shack). The hard part
would be about the voltage. But I am sure different people have
done it successfully with the S110(?) and S30 too. There is a
number of threads about this DIY battery pack issue on this forum.I am thinking along the same line but could not find anything inYour best bet seems to be making use of the AC power adaptor and
