7.4v batteries with phase one backs...ok?

[Snook]

Stefan , I doubt very much that Phase One planned it that way and are not happy that they are easily available for MUCH cheaper.

Thanks
Snook

PS: Doug, How about those Charger prices? Could you please let us here know what you all are charging, No pun intended..:+]
Have some friend going to the states soon and if the price is right, I would like to pick one up..

Hey Doug are you going to post those prices or what?
Thanks. Need to know soon as I have a friend traveling soon to the USA where I want them to buy me one.
I sure many would like to know the pirce as well here.
Just saw one sold in here for 125.00

Awaiting your repsonse

what about using  a CH-910 Dual Battery Charger/Holder   with  2  Canon  BP-945  or BP 970 (7000 mAh)  for night photography ?  but I would like to be totally sure that 7.2 V or 7.4 V does not matter

Hey eric does that dual charger come with the little "fake"battery tip so you can plug it in the battery slot of the phase One back?
Thanks for the picture..:]

but I'd like to be 100% sure that 7.2 V or 7.4 V works perfectly without any risk

What Phase is going to tell you is why risk an $18,000 digital back over a $70 battery?

What I and others have told you is we are using the $20 7.4 volt batteries without issue -- and the exact same battery is now spec'd at 7.2 volts now anyway, and I measured their output with a voltmeter and they are within 0.04 volt (NOT 0.4 volt) of the Phase battery.  Doesn't mean we won't have future problems though, so your money and your choice

Best,

I dont want to save money , PhaseOne batteties are just not good enough for my needs, 10 photos with  one battery   for night photography  doesn't work for me

Best,

I think 0.2 tolerance should be well within the phase one back capabilities.
beside that, the cells inside the plastics may be all the same and 7.2 or 7.4 could well be a typo or something on that line.
