Hi All,
I'm going to be away for 3 weeks and both myself and my girlfriend will be taking our EOS's, a 7D and a 450D.
In the past I've charged my batteries (30D charger) via an inverter, either off the car itself or from a small 12v car battery I use for camping.
I noticed in the manual for the 7D that you're not supposed to use "portable transformers" (which I assume to mean an inverter) with the charger.
I think there's multiple types of inverters, some of which are fine with a AC->DC charger and others that aren't. Anyone know more?
Alternatively, anyone know somewhere which sells DC->DC chargers for Canon batteries? I've had a quick Google and found one example, but not for the 450d or 7D batteries.
Or has anyone used the chargers via an inverter and actually had any issues?
