Today is 23rd May 2020, the BP1030 dummy battery I have ordered from Taobao.com arrived. Its one end is a BP1030 battery-like box, then a wire connect it with the other end which is a female socket named DC 4.0mm*1.7mm. Since the specification of BP1030 is 7.4V 1030mAh. I bought a 8.4V Power supply and DIY its end with a male socket named DC 4.0mm*1.7mm. Then, connect both female and male ends together, and turn on main powerful. My Samsung Nx300 turns on though the original battery model is BP1130. That means the dummy I bought marked with BP1030, also fit for BP1130. I dont know if this will harm the camera or not. At least, I did it on my Olympus E-510, and has been using it indoor for a couple of years without any problem. I didnt do the engineering work. I ask my friend do the soldering for me.

Not sure if this helps but I'm pretty sure the BP1030 and the BP1130 are interchangeable.
