![]() I didn’t believe it but I couldn’t get my third party to charge. ![]() One thing, canon has written in their code to check battery model. I bought a $25 powerbank that is pd certified and it works too. I bought me a $11 wall outlet from monoprice with two usbc cables and that is what i use when I travel. To be honest i was mad at how much it cost when all it is really doing is following power delivery standard. User - Do you have nay thoughts on how using an AC power back with the Canon AC Adapter would work? It seems like the options for longer shooting time are: It appears that Canon's decision makes sense. I do a lot of time lapse with my go pro and without the ability to add a powerbank it would be much harder. Has anyone notice how much slower the camera charges via pd outlet vs taking battery out and using wall adapter? I’m guessing canon requires pd standard but slow charges to not risk overcharging. Usbc with pd can charge at an crazy watts. The other risk canon wanted to avoid is overcharging. This is why the system only supports pd standard and not just any high charging power bricks. Microsoft addressed this on their surface pro by stop charging the battery and run on the adapter. Nothing worse for an electronics then brown out. The risk is if the the camera doesn’t get enough power while the system is charging. Usb 1.0 uart has power built into the standard since late 90’s but no one had any hardware for it. The problem has always been the power source. Yes I work for the world largest network manufacturer and my background is engineering.Ĭharging and using an electronic device has been around since usb early days. I’m not clear? Are you an electronics engineer and have been able to ascertain that the R can do this safely without adding weight to the camera? Or are you speculating? I’m guessing canon didn’t implement this because they didn’t want the risk and troubleshooting. So since the camera supports pd, in theory it can support charging and using. Usbc and pd are standards which has more than enough power to charge and use a device. It should be possible to use the USB both for battery charging and as AC adapter. Among others I use the R with AC adapter for microphotography and it is very annoying that I have to change the adapter for a battery when I want to use the camera otherwise.
