Any wall wart with the right voltage and polarity would work, unless it was designed for something using microscopical amounts of power and the camera needed more. The output and polarity should be marked on the charger. You can buy ones with multiple tips, variable voltage and swappable polarity for about 1/4 of the price of the Pentax/Ricoh one. > > She's ordered a third party battery from Amazon at a fraction of the usual > outlandish price of the Ricoh OEM unit. 7dayshop.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
