Hi Sandy,
Not sure if you missed my post from a couple of days ago, but I had written to Harry from Standscan and asked for clarification about the 12 Volt Battery Holder. I posted his reply which basically said that somehow they had overlooked to make the 12 Volt Battery Holder available on the website as an item you can buy even though they mentioned it. They have since fixed this and if you look under "Accessories" on the website you will now find that item at a cost of $4.95. It uses 8 simple Double A batteries. Raul also posted a discount code Standscan made available to Viphone list members. By using "VIPHONE" without the quotes as a discount code during the checkout process, you get a 10% discount. Of course if all you want to order is the 12 Volt Battery Holder because like in your case you already bought the Standscan Pro you would only save 50 Cents, but the offer is there. Those who order a Standscan Pro get 10% off it and a free 9 Volt Battery Holder, if you add the 12 Volt Adapter and 12 Volt Battery Holder you will get 10% off everything plus the free 9 Volt Battery Holder.

Hi, While I saw a brief description of the 12 volt battery case, on the StandScan site, neither I or my partner (a veteran online shopper!) can find it to buy. Perhaps, this explains why I never received it with my order. Now, just a suggestion, I am sure, as has been mentioned here, it will be possible to use other types of back-up power to bring the brightness up to 12 volts. I, for example, have my trusty Turbo Charger for my iPhone 4s. However, that charger, which comes complete with different connectors, does not have the appropriate one for the StandScan. It does have one which is the right shape, but not big enough. i am thinking that if I can get some sort of enlarging adaptor, I should be good to go. The advantage of this solution would be that I would not be relying upon expensive batteries, but rather on a rechargeable back-up. My problem is that I don't know the names for all these sorts of connectors, which makes it hard to research online. plus, I live miles and miles away from the nearest shop that sells milk, let alone electronic adaptors!!! So, I think that someone in a better situation might find the solution before me. I will keep trying though. Does anyone know, should there be some sort of number/name on the connector that comes with the mains adaptor? Sorry for the wooly-headed nature of this message, its early, I have toothache and I haven't had any coffee yet. Happy researching! Sandy.

That will be interesting where I can find such a battery pack in Denmark. I am quite sure, I will need to order the battery pack from somewhere abroad. Can anyone tell me, if we can get any rechargeable batterypack that will work. If anyone knows a dealer that will sell for Denmark, it will be fantastic. Best regards Annie.

This way, the clerk can provide a battery pack with the proper connector. In the US, I would suggest Radio Shack. In NZ, I would suggest Dick Smith. I do not know the name of the equivalent shop in Australia.

I also did not find the 12V battery holder on the site; even directly on the StandScan Pro product page itself, where relevant accessories are also displayed, and you can add them just by checking their corresponding boxes, the only things shown are the 12V DC adapter and some camera lens kit. I don't think the SC folks meant to sell the 12V battery pack; the description just says that different battery packs can be used, a 9V or 12V, implying that you could go out and just get what you wanted from anywhere. Actually just looked at the FAQ page on the site, and it seems to confirm this; question is why are batteries not included, and answer is that batteries are not allowed to be transported by air. What problem did you have with PayPal linkage? I am in the U.S., just ordered a StandScan Pro and 12V adapter yesterday, paid via PayPal using direct account transfer, and had no issues. Am looking forward to its arrival! Hope the site works better for you next time!

I tried to order the ScanPro over the weekend. I didn't find the 12v battery holder anywhere on their page. Just the wall adapter. I also didn't order because their page didn't link to PayPal properly. I will probably contact the manufacturer regarding the lighting before I make the purchase at this point. Thanks a bunch for the product review. It may almost make my Optacon obsolete which I hope it does since my finger doesn't read as well as it once did. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
