hi, i need some help!
here is the story, i have a camera that takes a 2CR5 battery, a 6V lithium. it used to work fine but now the camera displays the low battery warning after only using the camera for a few minutes or straight away in lower temperatures. using a voltage meter i found that a new 2cr5 gives about 6.5V and the camera shows the battery warning when you drop below 6.3V and anything below about 6.2V wont turn the camera on.
so i bought this DC-DC switching converter from china which has a 6V 3A output, its designed for powering the radio receiver for RC stuff off the main battery. the DC-DC converter worked flawlessly with a 11.1V 3s lipo, giving a constant 6.6V output but the problem is it wont fit inside the camera, i really want to have a single cell be it 1.2V,1.5V,3.7V,7.4V or whatever so long as i can fit it in the battery bay for a 2CR5 along with something that will convert it to 6.4V or more.
what is the best way of going about this?
