I'm trying to attach a solar film to my canon sd500. I've soldered the positive and negative wires of the solar film to the corresponding contacts on the camera battery with a blocking diode in line with the positive solar film wire to prevent the electrical trickle from battery back to solar film.
When attempting to power up the camera, I hear 6 quick beeps in succession and it shuts off. From my understanding, after researching what the beeps mean on Canon's site, it seems the battery is not holding a charge.
I would like to know if anyone has any solutions to make this system work. I feel like I am close to getting it but am missing some vital info I can't seem to come by to complete this project.
Thanks in advance for any help
