Idea: look into some cheaper power-supply option from the local electronics store. It's just the pin configuration I'm not sure of.

Maybe someone here can measure their SAC-4 pin diameter and take a macro shot? And measure the voltage to find out the pin polarity but remember that the open circuit voltage could be considerably higher than the on-load voltage. It's unlikely that the SAC-4 has the best regulated voltage on the planet especially if the camera has a regulator inside.

I myself would be leery of taking any advice from the local electronics store. People like Tom Schum here can help much better, I reckon.

An alternative is to get another fully functional camera and keep this one as a back-up, as I have done with the SD9 so as to have two battery carriers ...

Just interested in the technology.
