Pro3.6VH / MH-DPB180M / MH-DPB140LI
NiMH & Lithium Ion Battery Packs

The latest portable, digital camera power solution is the Pro3.6VH, MH-DPB180M and the MH-DPB140LI. These are self-contained 3.6v, 1800mAh NiMH, 6V, 1800mAh NiMH and 7.2V Lithium Ion rechargeable battery packs about the size and weight of a large beeper. (3 1/4"L x 2 5/8"W x 1 1/16"H)

These packs come with everything shown below.

These kits come as a complete power systems that includes:

• 3.6V NiMH, 6V 1800mAH NiMH or 7.2V Lithium Ion battery pack (silver in color)
• Stylish, silver carrying case with belt clip
• 4-hour AC rapid charger
• 12V cigarette lighter power cord
• Camera power cable with 3 modular coaxial plugs

The camera power cord has a modular tip on the end and you get three different coaxial plugs that fit just about all of the digital cameras out there.

You can use these battery packs to power a variety of devices that use 4 AA size batteries so those extra coaxial plugs will probably come in quite handy.

The camera end of the power cord is angled so it is a perfect match with the new Nikon Coolpix 990. The cord runs right down the grip and there's plenty of room left for your fingers to hold the camera securely.

On top of the packs there are three green and one red LED indicators that act as a "gas gauge" to let you know the condition of the battery pack during both the charge and discharge cycles.

The Powerpacks LED "gas gauge" displays how much power you have left at a glance with those red and green lights. Physically the Packs are 3 1/4"L x 2 5/8"W x 1 1/16"H. Slip it into its carrying case and clip it on your belt, you're now ready for some serious digicam shooting. One of the side benefits to using an external battery pack is that you can take the batteries out of the camera. It may not sound like much but after several hours of holding it in your hand you'll appreciate the reduced weight.

A fully exhausted Powerpack can be brought back to full charge in about four hours using the supplied AC rapid charger. And not to worry if you're out in the car or the boat, you can charge the pack there too with the supplied 12v lighter adapter cord. Other battery packs require different power cords for different cameras but these packs have a more logical solution to this problem. The camera cord is modular and comes with three different coaxial power plugs. You just put the right sized tip on the cord (paying attention to the polarity) and you're good to go. These "extra" tips will come in very handy when you use any of the packs to run other electronic devices like a Walkman or MP3 player or DVD player or etc...
