How do Wasabi battery can be loaded using this Wasabi Power if output Volts are less then Volts required from battery ? Thanks.

Unfortunately I can't answer this question technically. I'm not a electrical engineer, but I have used this kit sucessfully!

Hello, if I understand you correctly, the output voltage is less than what is required? Maybe a defective battery.. Although, dual voltage rechargeable, 220\50htz, may be the problem. The same with 110/60htz as well. So, it could be the charger. I have had zero issues with mine. Check the component that your using them on too... Hope this helps.

The outputs are "relays", which are mechanical contacts. They therefore do not have a minimum current load.

You don't need a controller because this unit does not supply enough amps to overcharge a regular sized (car, boat, etc.) battery. If you test the voltage under no load it may scare you because it's too high, but if you apply ohm's law and understand that the current is limited by the capacity of the unit, you'll find that the voltage under load is only a couple of tenths of a volt higher than the battery in its disconnected state.

I can't answer about Arduino. I am using the PicAxe which can directly switch 12 volts, but can't handle any significant load. I run 5v to the logic side and run 12 volts to the control side of the picaxe. I also push the outputs to this board to switch other 12, 24 and. 110v circuits with higher loads. I will directly push LED circuits with the PicAxe and low load 12v.

I have used this Wasabi with fully charged. After 1/2 hour for video recording, it shut down (both batteries). I may got the bad one. The original battery from Nikon P330 lasted almost 2 hours (for video recording). I have returned and got money back from Amazon.

Yes, I tested them with a 9V battery. If you run 3 9V batteries in series you could keep them going but that would get expensive. 9x3=24 volts

Look and see what battery number you have for the camera. If the Wasabi battery and your battery (from your camera) are the same, the answer is yes! You may also look to see what the cross-reference numbers are. Hope this helps, and good luck.

3rd party batteries work fine. I buy Wasabi brand for all my cameras. Great deal, and I've never had an issue.

When I ordered them they were vivitar brand batteries. So not wasabi I guess. I have been using them a few times a week since I bought them and in a full day shoot I rarely find myself using more than these two batteries.

The Wasabi comes with two batteries, one charger, one European power outlet adapter, and one automobile adapter. The European outlet adapter fits 220 volt house outlets as are found in Germany and other European counties, as the charger can accommodate both American 110 volts and European 220 volts without making any adjustments. The automobile adapter plugs into the cigarette power outlet of your automobile and into the top of the Wasabi charger. On the back of the wasabi is the American style plug. It comes folded into the rear of the housing. To use it, lift it up and rotate it rearward until its contacts are perpendicular to the housing. The charger is now ready to plug into an American style outlet. For a European style outlet, plug the American style plug into the back of the European style plug adapter, and then plug the charger with the European style plug adapter into a European outlet with 220 volts.

Yes, you can. Though if you google the subject, you will find that some users report it does not boost the battery on the v3 as well as it did on the v2. Perhaps the battery does not have as much capacity as the newer one?The advantage that I find is, the battery can come out of the bacpac. With the v3 its all one unit. You can get some of the Wasabi batteries here on amazon for a great price and they get very good reviews. Then you can have multiple batteries and use the bacpac as a standalone charger. This way you can be recharging one battery while using another.

Jeff, I have used them without problem for months now. It may just be that you got a bum set. I have been running only Oly BLN-1s in my OM-Ds and E-M1 for the last two months, so decided to see how my Wasabi batteries were doing in my bag having not been on a charger in more than two months just for this response. I can say that BOTH my Wasabis were still fully charged (based on my E-M1's battery display) and are working fine. I'd suggest contacting them to see if they can help you out.Jamie.

The Wasabi Power battery set up worked out for me Perfect. But I don't have that SonyI don't know what Voltage you need . You have make sure the Battery size, voltage, to get a setup like this to work with your camera. It will say on the camera what voltage the Battery would be, and there is a code for the size. put that together to search Amazons dealer people. YOU WILL FIND something that will work, But you have to do the foot work so you do NOT get the wrong Voltage or you will Puke the camera. It Happens

I've bought several batteries sicne this one.. if I can remember I do believe it is a Wasabi.

When the Wasabi battery is installed in the camera, you get a "Cannot communicate with the battery pack. Continue using this battery pack? Yes/No" message whenever you power up the camera, but only when you power up the camera. If you answer Yes, then you do not see the message again until you power up the camera again. If you answer No, the camera powers down. I have never run the Wasabi batteries until they lose power, so I don't know what happens when they run out of power.

Yes, it does have a U.S. electrical outlet compatible plug. I do not know about the battery compatibility. I suggest you go to the Sony website and compare the batteries it says are needed in each device; if they are identical, then, yes you should be able to use the Wasabi ones.
