Thanks Jens, I've been wondering how to do that exact thing. There is a Metz AC adapter (N22/N23) that I believe plugs into the side rather than replaces the battery pack and I have been trying to find which pins it uses for what and the appropriate voltage and current. The unit itself is something like AUD$400 - $500 from memory so I don't want to buy a new one just to experiment. I do have a battery pack replacement for use with a Quantum battery so it couldn't be too hard to rig up something like your system. Do you have a circuit diagram that explains it all?
