Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / April 2006Battery Grip info please
I know the battery grip for the Canon 350XT will hold 2 batteries. Question that I have is, will it work with only one battery installed or do you have to have two installed for it to work. Thanks for any info you can give me.

They don't run in parralel. The batteries will be run down one at a time. >>I know the battery grip for the Canon 350XT will hold 2 batteries. >> Question that I have is, will it work with only one battery installed [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >All the others work with one so i assume this is the same.

The Rebel XT/350D grip uses a cartridge setup which will work with one battery, two batteries, or six AA cells using the included AA-cartridge. > >I know the battery grip for the Canon 350XT will hold 2 batteries. > > Question that I have is, will it work with only one battery installed [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > All the others work with one so i assume this is the same.

Definately runs OK with only one battery installed, but also definately discharges BOTH batteries at the SAME time. They may however have introduced a couple of diodes to prevent one battery trying to charge the other if 1 charged and one discharged batteries are fitted at the same time.

I use mine that way as an alternative to 6 NiMH cells all the time. |
