Re: Charging multiple batteries

I'm not a Foveon user yet, but when I eventually get a DP-0Q, I plan to power the camera without a battery most of the time by purchasing the Sigma SAC-6 AC Adapter and a StarTech cable Type H (5V barrel connector) to use with my Anker AstroPro Portable USB Charger. A similar rig was suggested by an earlier contributer (using SAC-5 with DP-M camera), who said he thought his (smaller) Anker charger could provide power to that camera for about 8 hours, as I recall. It was advantageous in cold weather because he wore the charger against his body. The only downside is having a cord attached to the camera but I plan to hang the charger on my tripod, where the camera will remain for most of the time in use.
