There's no wire to splice onto, so I'll have to solder it to the board. I've got a good power adapter I can use with a spare magsafe cord I have. I'm going to be without an adapter for a few days, so I'm going to put one together from my collection of parts I've saved over the years. Replacement MagSafe cord- I found mine on eBay for like $16. Capacitors can hold a charge for a while so it's best to leave the adapter unplugged for a bit prior to working on it.

Next, I decided to figure out how to crack open the adapter and replace the entire cord and that's the process I'll demonstrate with this instructable.īe careful and make sure the adapter is completely discharged. Then I decided to splice out the shorted sections of cord which did work but left me with relatively short cords for charging the computer.
I used to buy new MagSafe adapters but that got expensive fairly quickly.
All photos I've posted there were made by having battery chargers working to make sure I plenty of juice for the great shots when they were taken.Having owned several Apple notebooks which utilize the MagSafe adapters I've seen my share of failures.Īnything in from stuck pins which prevent the computer from charging to my cats deciding the adapters are made out of some rare form of addictive kitty-crack and shorting out the cord by chewing on it. My photography is found at if you're curious what the above cameras can help make once they have fresh batteries charged and ready. I prefer to just show the photos made with whatever camera it is I'm holding. There are plenty of camera clubs and forums for waving around what you use and what you spent. This is a post about an AC adapter cable and I'm not up for price busting or brand comparing, just battery charging. What the cameras cost is dependent on where, when and from whom you purchased them. (The EN-E元a battery will work in all these bodies.) This project can be applied to chargers / splitters for just about any camera brand.
(This one may also handle AAA but I do not use that size.) I have shot the Nikon D70/ D70s, D200 and D300, and the body battery chargers pictured herein will charge body batteries for all of these bodies. The speedlights / flashes in our location gear only use AA so no need for chargers to handle other battery sizes. ** All the external hard drives I use have the same kind of figure-8 AC leads to the power bricks, and this Instructable can be applied to powering multiple drives or any other peripherals using same ends.

PARTS + 2 or more Camera Battery chargers (1 usually comes with the camera) + 2 AC leads for the chargers + 1 Inline AC ungrounded plug - hardware store + Heat shrink tubing - 1/4" for AC leads, 3/4" to cover split connection (black electrical tape works as well but a nice piece of heat shrink won't unravel or leave goo while keeping the look of well built, professional gear.) + Epoxy / Epoxy Putty / Hot glue - encase split junction (come on, doesn't every project on here use one of these 3 adhesives?) TOOLS Wire cutters, strippers Soldering iron, solder TIME 30 minutes or so? Not too tricky or difficult once you have the parts together. This is the easiest solution I have found using the cables included without buying special chargers that handle multiple batteries at once. More frequently I find only one outlet available near our table and need to charge several items at once. Often times I am photographing a late wedding reception and running low on juice or will need to recharge gear for the next day's shoot while at still at a late shoot. Other times I've packed the camera bags and forgotten the second, identical charger cable thinking it was already in the bag. On location photography shoots I usually run into the need for several chargers and very few power outlets.
