I have an Olympus digital camera (Model # Stylus 300 Digital)

It says it takes a 4.8v power cord (says that on the cover to where
you plug
it
in). The only cord I have that is close is a 4.5V cord.
Now, will plugging this camera in recharge the battery?
Possibly, but probably not. That's quite close, but if it's a 4.5V
battery, it will not charge (you have to apply a higher voltage than
the rated voltage to charge a battery.)
You really want to be careful when doing things like this, not only
are there issues of different voltages, but also polarity or whether
it's AC or DC.
In general you can safely substitute adapters of the same voltage and
polarity of the required amperage or higher.
