Hi guys, I made a belt battery pack for my sony xr550 camcorder.
I bought a :
6600mAh BATTERY NP-F960 NP-F970 NP-F530
and I managed to connect it to the ac/dc of my camcorder.
The problem is that it lasts for about 5 hours and 25 minutes if I record continuoselly with the lcd open.
I would like to instead have an uthonomy of maybe 9-10 hour when recording with the LCD open.
So I was thinking to buy a
7200mAh Battery NP-F960 NP-F970 NP-F530
http://cgi.ebay.com/7200mAh-Battery-for-Sony-NP-F960-NP-F970-NP-F530-HI-CAP_W0QQitemZ290402461114QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBatteries_Chargers?hash=item439d55e5ba
and "parallel connect" it to the 6600mAh BATTERY NP-F960 NP-F970 NP-F530
so that I could get a longer lasting joined battery pack.
Can you give me some suggestion in how to connect the 2 batteries in the picture in parallel ?
I tried to connect in the past 2 AA batteries in parallel, but they became hot and they started making smoke, like I did something wrong ?
Do you think that it is a bad idea to parallel connect the 2 batteries above ?
Do u have any other suggestion ?
Below are the specs of the camcorder
Thank you
