Is there any way I can get the camera to run off a 12v leisure battery
instead?

Are you sure the adaptor is not (also) a charger? If you plug in the
camera with the batteries in and leave for a few hours, what sort of
battery life do you get then?


Yup, there's an adaptor coming out of the camera, into which you either plug
a 9v battery (on an adaptor cable) or the 240v plug. In any case, if the
max capacity of the battery is 160mAh, then it's only going to work for 19
minutes, as I work it out.


I see. Obvious enough when you know how it's connected. The adaptor is
probably slightly overspecced, but it's going to be minutes not hours
certainly (and might even be worse than the 19 depending on the
discharge curve at high cuurents (which it is for a small 9V)

I've started the butchery, and it will hopefully be connected to the leisure
battery within the next hour after my cuppa

If it was me I'd rig 6 D cells in series to a spare 9V battery lead
(remembering that the colours will be the wrong way round). The
rechargeable D in front of me is 2300mAh, a duracell will be much more.
