Hello

i have a problem, i bought the Lanparte unit and tried to power my Panasonic AG-AF101, but i used my original cord with fake battery on 1 end that was originally included in the box together with my camcorder! and apparently it cant be used for that, cause it some how tells to camcorder that not original accessory is being used...... camcorder turns on for a second, but then displays the message - The battery cannot be used and camcorder turns off its self! I get same message when i use cheap china vbg6 battery, and usually i need to put it in and out few times before it starts working.

so seems like i need Not Original Cord with fake battery .... or decoded one, does any one knows where to get it? or what else i could do.

i really need to make it work.....

i found these links but i dont know if it will fit my af101, and also i dont know if its original or not, as i understand i need a not original one....:

Mine works with no issue. Have you tried plugging it in the AC / battery charger and test the original adapter? If it works then the adapter is good.
It could be the cable you made to work with the Lanparte dock that is the problem. Check polarity.

yes i did try my original fake battery cord with original ac adopter and there were no problems... it work fine.... i dont understand , if u r using just same things my also should work

the custom cord i did in order to connect the 7.2v hole with my original Panasonic fake battery cord should be fine , as i connected it to that 7.2v hole and measured with tester the V it sends out - 8.35v (btw could you check how many Vats do u receive out it? ), and also my camcorder turns on for a sec or 2 and only after that displays that message..... i am not electrition but i think if the polarity would be wrong i would not be able to turn camcorder on at all

did u also do a custom cord? or you bought it ready?

Hmmmm. I made a cable. Went to a electronics store and. bought all the parts and assembled the cable. Look at the original thread to see the cable I made. I believe I got that same voltage from the plug. Does the other outs work? I would make another cable.
 
i ll try to make 1 more tomorrow ...... and see if it will work out, but just will cry for now.....

btw i ve seen the cord u did and it looks like it was a solid peace..... nice work! (can u make another one? or could u mail me these parts that you bought), we dont even have a parts like that here for sale! there is only 3 radio electronic stores in my city, and unfortunately non of them have anything like that! all i could find is 5$ female part that normally attached to "mother boards" ....and i cut my small hd cord ....

i connected monitor and 312 bi color led light - works great.....

just bought my edelkrone modula 7 ....... and kind of was hopping to use it with my battery

still i would like to find out about the fake battery cord! and buy an extra 1 .....so i could live 1 at home and other 1 carry with me....
regards
 
Your AF101 most probably rejects the power after measuring voltage during the power up, which is outside the range it expects it to be. Normally it is in the 7.2V-7.8V range.

I’m probably going to get another Panasonic power cable and add a new DC POWER PLUG, 1.4MM ID, 3.8MM OD plug to it.
I made the cable because I didn’t want to wait for it.

Link to product.

For $14 you cant go wrong.

could u plz measure the amount of VOLTS u get out of your 7.2V hole, i still think that problem i have with my unit is voltage issue.....:crybaby: as i get 8.35V..... if your unit gives u less then 8V then for sure i need to return it!

unfortunately the guys who sells DC POWER PLUGs (the link u provided) - dont sell internationally if orders are less then 100$ ..... i could not find it on ebay

so u think that that 14$ cable fits AF100? ..... if so i am going to buy it, i just did not know it as in compatible models list only 2 and i think consumer models, if its same one i am going to get it then...

same what i think, as its just much more. i get 8.35V , but i ve been told by the seller that i can use up to 12V.......

also on original image where the guy at manufacture checks the voltage - there was 7.97V .... its less then 8.

Ok. I will check but cant promise I can get to it today. I'm pretty swamped since getting back from a 10 day shoot.

If I can help you by purchasing the parts even making the cord I will. But how long it will take to get done can be an issue.
 
It would be incorrect to base the functioning of the pinch directly off the output voltage.

This is because lithium ion/polymer batteries do not take their operating voltage to charge - they require a higher input to charge from flat to full.
Likewise, the battery itself will change voltage dramatically between 8.4v and 6v, depending on the charge level and age.
Thus, you will find that the pinch operates near to 8.4v in order to be able to fully charge the battery.
If the pinch was around 7.4v then it would not be supplying enough juice to get your battery to full charge (and you would then have problems with your batteries running flat!)

What you really need to look at is the "max voltage", not the "nominal voltage" (which is what's written on the label: i.e: 7.4v battery, 12v battery etc.).
The best way to measure this would be to get the original DC charger included with your camcorder and either measure the voltage from that or look up the specs online.
You can then compare this directly with the output from the pinch - you will see that both the DC charger and the pinch will NOT be 7.4v (or 12v or whatever the nominal rating is of your battery).

This is just the nature of Li batteries and as long as your charge source is not dramatically off (i.e: no 10v output for your 7.4v nominal voltage battery!) you will be fine.

thank you very much! well , when ever you can do it is fine, even if it will take longer time...... and even if i ll make it work my self, its still will be great to have a normal cord with normal connectors , instead of the one i have now, and ill be able to use my old as an extra one .....

hey! any chance u can do it any soon? i kind of stock here, ...... its a real joy powering my dp1x it , but thats all i can do for now....... btw i put it on my new edelkrone rig and it sits great there....

regards
 
guys could some one plz send me the connectors i am missing....... will cover your expanses and shipping with my pp

This is perhaps where a hack would come in handy to allow use of 3rd party batteries....

You don't need a hack.

You just need to go back and read Alex's post (the one immediately preceding yours), because he's absolutely correct.

(Which explains why I've not had any issues using 2 different brands of generic batteries with my AF-100 over the last 12 months).
 
batteries has nothing to do with it, all i need is the right connector that unfortunately is not for sale locally, not on ebay, and few usa sites who has it, dont ship internationally. ALSO i already PROVED that battery has nothing to do with it as i connected it with out a connector using peace of iron and an extra peace of cord - checked and all worked fine!

so all i need is the right connector!
