What is the external battery pack "EBP-100"? - Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 Digital Camera

6 4L EBP FAILURE EXHUAST BACK PRESSURE POWERSTROKE

The battery is included in the film pack. All original film packs now have flat batteries, especially if cold stored. Refrigerated packs with flat batteries can be used if you convert the camera to accept an external 4.5v dc stabilised power supply such as an external battery pack.

New film packs are available from The Impossible Project, but they are not the same material as the original Polaroid ones. The website tells you about the differences in results and product behaviour.

There are isues with HP external power supplies - if it is a dv7-3xxx series you require AC Smart adapter (120 watt) - 100-240VAC input, 50-60Hz, 2.5A - 18.5VDC output, 6.5A, Pt No 463953-001

for earlier models require AC Smart power adapter (90 watt) - 100-240VAC input, 47-63Hz - 19.0VDC output, 4.74A, 90 watts, with power factor correction (PFC) 463955-001
If you are within the warranty period utilize that warranty if not contact HP and see what price a replacement external power pack is.

Hmmm, don't like to state the obvious .. but it sounds like you have a flat battery? Have you tried bump starting the bike, or use an external booster pack (or jump leads) to get it going?

Nope - that battery is completely rechargeable. There is a small possibility that the battery could have experienced some small corrosion, but this is a slim possibility. The documentation suggests that this model has an external battery pack, and comes with the following instructions:
Slide the external battery pack cover to open it.
Insert four AA batteries, be careful to observe the correct polarity. Slide the
cover back into place.
Inserting external battery pack
Twist the external battery pack to UNLOCK direction. Insert the H300 to the
system slot of the external battery pack.

go to the Konica Minolta customer technical support[now part of Sony] However I doubt an item of this age is repairable due to lack of parts.

No. The EBP-100 is not usable, and we cannot guarantee compatibility with any other manufacturer's external battery packs.
