hi guys! I'm going to the US for an exchange year and my dad just gave me digital camera to take along.. it's just the cam is using a accumulator.. it says "Li-ion BATTERY PACK".. 3.7V 820mAh. KONICA DR-LB4 and the battery recharge is only for 230V like we got it here in europe.. Do you think i could find a recharger for this special accu for 110V in the US? or would it be easier to by a transformer and take the old recharger? where could I get such a transformator in america?.. or more precisely in Cincinnati? would be nice if you could answer soon.. i'm leaving in 31h 7min greetz, daniel ps: gonna pack my bags now.. making everything fit in there
Lots of places sell step-up inverters, which is what you need if you were to use the old charger. I think this is maybe the best way as then you can use it for other stuff you might have... However there are plenty of chargers for li-ion, 3.7v is the standard for that kind of battery (usually). You can get chargers from a lot of places, and you can use chargers from just about any 3.7v li-ion battery charger.. I think I dont know the details of how li-ion is charged, but iirc it is done at 4.2v and the current just depends on how long you want it to take... however li-ion I think gets damaged if not changed properly, so you will have to check that if going the DIY route.
Li-Ion batteries usually have a charger chip inside them to make sure they are charged correctly. They dont just get damaged when you inccorrectly charge them they have a tendency to explode
the li-ion battery has 3 poles... ground, + and -... the charger that came with it automaticly stops charging when it's done.. i think i will buy an inverter.. do i get them at an DIY-superstore or at a property market? and how mutch will it be?
