That is good to hear. My concern is that 4 18650s are 14.8v, and around 45wh, but would there be any issues using it.. e.g. anything that could damage the camera?
I saw from DIY projects that it looks like there is a PCB for about $8 or so, that you would want that you solder some of the leads from the battery holder to, but wasnt entirely sure what that was about. I thought it made it so you could charge all 4 cells in the holder. For me I have a good charger already, so I mostly wanted to be able to just put the 4 18650s together, and see how long it can power the camera, but safely without damaging it.
There are a few folks building some nice 18650 setups with mounting options, etc. But what I am not clear on is if you need regulated output from those, or if that 12v to 20v input range means the BM camera, at least via the 2pin plug, regulates the power coming in to it, itself, so that just a pure 14.8v output would be fine, or if I need to add some sort of extra to the battery enclosure to regulate the output?
