Custom battery Solutions For Our Housings

Featured Replies

I've received a PD power bank that looks like it could work (Anker Nano Power Bank 22.5W), and the camera should arrive in the next couple of days.

To test the fit, I'll need to remove the optical cables from the A1 housing, but I'm not sure how theses work.

Do I just need to unscrew the two nuts, and then the cables can be removed without any risk to the housing?
Thanks

    If your housing has a space reserved for flash trigger. It can be used to install a lithium polymer battery. It's a rudimentary method, but it works and will last for a day's diving. No need to open t

    Hello everyone,   I also had the problem with too little battery power a few years ago with the Sony A7II series. This annoyed me so much at the time that I built an underwater power supply

  • There's three issues to deal with and the voltage delivered is just one of them. First can you get a battery to fit and is what you can fit a decent enough capacity. Second How does the camera react w

Dont unscrew the nuts. They are part of the housing construction and holds the fiber connectors outside the housing and have o-rings in the construction.

You need to just pull the led's (unless they are glued or something) out. Mine (trt) are just pushed in, not sure about other brands.

Here is mine without led's:

You should also probably remove the trigger as well - is it an UWT trigger or some other type? What are the cables attached to?

bghazzal's pictures on previous page show the cable is just hanging, with a connector in the end so i'm sure its like my trt one, trigger in the camera hot shoe and connect it to the cables when sliding in.

Thank you both - yes, that was easier than I thought 😃 I just pulled on the cables and the fiber optic cables slid out

The power bank fits - now I need to test it with the camera to see it it works.
If it does it will just be a question of routing a flat USB cable.

The powerbank I got is this one:
https://www.anker.com/products/a1653-usb-c-portable-charger-5000mah?variant=42733234258070

Capacity: 5,000mAh

USB-C Output: 5V⎓3A / 9V⎓2.22A / 10V⎓2.25A

Total Output: 18W Max

It has a dual output, male on the length (which I plan on using) and female on the side.

I ordered a Ribbon Flat USB-C Data Cable 3A 10Gbps female to male and male to male, we'll see.
