    Modify a Canon Ixus battery to convert the battery into an external power adapter.
    Canon Ixus 220 HS is sometimes called PowerShot ELPH 300 HS
    The original battery used in this camera:
    Model: NB-4L (NB4L)
    Battery type: Li-ion
    Voltage: 3.7v
    Battery capacity: 1400mAh
    This DYI hack and mod works with any standard USB power supply or with a power bank.
    In the video I use the Xiaomi Mi 2s power bank but you can use any source you like.
    Making the USB cable to connect to the battery external power adapter.
    BE VERY CAREFUL when you cut the plastic shell, DO NOT cut deep, just enough so that the plastic shell separates.
    If you don't feel comfortable doing this, don't do it. You can get the external power adapter if you want to.
    The problem with that adapter is that it's not standard USB power.
    Any questions?

    I was planning to make a mechanism that would remain open for 12 hours to do timelapse. this was the first and best video I've seen about it. but it's hard to do. I don't understand technical workmanship, so I think there must be a simpler way.
    my machine canon ixus 145.

      I think Canon sells a kit that does the same thing if you need it but don't want to mess with making a custom one. It's very easy though but you need to solder stuff and need a diode to lower the voltage of the battery to approx. 4 volts.

    After doing all the things mentioned in the video, only my canon ixus hs255 is getting powered on and lens is also not opening fully, what could be the issue?

    • @IONHowTo
      @IONHowTo  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Make sure to watch the full video.
      Power should be enough on the power supply and the Voltage at the battery terminals as close to original voltage as possible.
      I think the power supply is not good enough if it starts but stops.
      No resistor just diode as you see in the video.
      Hope this helps.

    Is double A battery is better than normal battery from the canon that last 2-3 hours only ?

    • @IONHowTo
      @IONHowTo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is for running it from a charger but yes 3 x AA 1.2 rechargeables should last a lot longer than the original battery depending on the mah capacity.

      You could try, most important, measure the voltage as shown before using it in the camera.

    What about the middle tab on the battery? Because it is also having a different voltage & might be powering some low voltage components directly
