Guys:

I was told that my batteries are insufficient to generate power enough to run the Beauleiu 7008 crystal sync camera. that it requires an external power supply, a power connector, and a charger.

That the best type of battery will be an 8.4 V battery and that the camera would need to be modified for that . The charge would be $595???

I know many of you here have use the 7008 ball you series at some point and some of you are very tech savvy could you please let me know what the true power requirement for the 7008 prologue cameras really need to get them to run properly because the handle pack with regular double A's simply does not work sufficient and would like a reliably enough.

I also hate the idea of feeling like I am being taken for a fool and I don't like that feeling

I assume you know of Wittner Cinetec who sell accessories for Beaulieu equipment. They might be able to help you.
