I got this Canon Powershot A580 8MP camera. Canons are really nice cameras i like it alot. the problem is , it's a power hog, i mean seriously i have to constantly be removing the 2 AA or the firmware would just eat them up. i just had to change them again after taking 3-4 shots just because i forgot to remove them right away.. a better model is not in my budget so i'm planning to make a an external battery for it. I was planning to use a 1850 li-ion somehow bolt it onto the tripod threaded fitting underneath and either drill a tiny hole in the battery cover and run wire to a couple dummy AAs or can i use the mini-USB on the side? also wondered if the 4.0v Li-Ion would be too much or since many the other models have internal Li-Ion is this the very same circuit?
