Most "real" camera batteries are in the 7-8 volt area, so usb charging is out of the question. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Nichols Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2017 9:11 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Portable Power Supply Aram, the problem may be voltage, not size. I think the SL battery is 8.4 volts, so the supply voltage source would have to be higher, if my old EE recollections are correct. The iPhone batteries are only 3.8 volts. USB charging voltage is 5.0 volts, hence the SL can't charge from those, but many smaller devices can.
