Sony NP-FW50 Camera Battery Hack

If your camera takes an NP-FW50 battery, this hack will probably work to power it. The dummy power supply I got off ebay.. The 12v power bank model I refer to is YB1206000-USB. Although any 8v to 36v power supply should work with this step-down transformer to power one of the many Sony cameras that take the NP-FW50 battery. I don't know everything about batteries and cameras so consult a professional before attempting. www.pololu.com...

Found this useful. Many thanks for opening that 'fake' battery and showing what's inside. Now I know exactly what I need to do!

0:40 "buck converter", not transformer. Also, this is a really cool idea. Great job!

Awesome hack out there! I have the same Fluke True RMS multimeter in the office, that thing is built like a tank. Haha. I was actually looking for a shell from sony fw50 to fz100 dummy battery. I was planning to buy the genuine Sony AC-PW20 (for a6400) and convert it to the FZ100 Dummy power adapter for the Sony A6600. Sadly I couldn't find one. Awesome tutorial out there. Cheers!

I can confirm using a usb to charge and use the A6300 at the same time works fine.

why you not show the connection clear

Why all this convertions? Simply open old battery, remove batteries, solder cable and two 18650.
