I have a Minolta External Battery Pack Holder BH-100 that holds a couple of Minolta NP-100 lithium ion batteries .
It can be used with the Minolta DiMage series of bridge cameras rather than using the four AA batteries in them .
There due for renewal but I'm struggling to find some .
I think the original ones were made by Sony and were used by several camera manufacturers but sold as different designations .
Same as the NP-400 was also used in Pentax and Samsung DSLRs ( the Pentax K10d and 20d , and Samsung rebadged ones the GX10 and 20 )
So does anyone know what else these batteries were known as ?
Here's a couple of pictures of them to jog your memories .
