These instructions detail how to build an external battery pack similar in nature to the DB-2 offered by Nikon. It uses 2AA batteries in place of the button cells used by the FM/FE/FA/F2/F3/FG/EM series Nikon cameras. The purpose is to faciliate cold weather shooting by keeping the batteries stored in a warm area, external from the camera.
