Title: battery power packs to power old Sinar digital backs?
Post by: daz777 on December 12, 2015, 05:41:56 pm

Hi guys,

Is it possible to power old sinar digital backs with flash battery packs or other portable battery packs?
Have you tried it? If so, which one works best on location and how long does it last?

Well assuming you have an adapter you can calculate how long the pack will last.

All you need to know is the power consumption of the back and the capacity of the battery - but be sure to calculate the potential power loss due to the adapter.

In theory it could work. Whether it's feasible or not...well depends on the battery pack and the power consumption of the back.
