I found this in a previous post
My question is this
I rigged up enough alkaline D in seires to make 9 volt dc approx.
The camera I have plugs into the house with an adapter cord that says
input 120vac 60hz
output 9volts dc max current drawn 500mA
And in the manual I read that the camera runs on 9volt dc with 100mA to max 150mA.
Also in the manual you can send away for a battery so you can use the camera without haveing it plugged into the house with the 6 ft adapter
My question is why won't my D cell batteries work to power the camera?
Going by the chart seems it should?
Here is the links to the camera and battery pack for it.

Curious why the D cells won't work 19500mAh but maybe when you but them in series it is not good enough to make the equivalant of Lithium 800mah.
The only difference is this battery is rechargeable mine is not..... but it still should work.
Or maybe the mAh are based on different current per hour that screws up the powering of the device .....etc
Thanks for anybody that clears this up...
If I by the battery pack will it last long for recharging purposes....
