Topic: can I use a oade BP7.2 7.2 amp battery pack for a d8

[Gordon]

ssia.  says on the site you can use it for a d8 and sbm but then it says for d8's to buy the other one (bp3.2)

if they're the same voltage (which I presume they are), no problem -- 7.2ah makes a lot of sense for a d8/sbm1 combo, but is total overkill for just a d8 -- I assume you have one sitting around.  If not, my recommendation is to skip external batteries alltogether and run the d8 off of nimh aa rechargables.  A set of good ones will run the d8 for a good 4 hours or so.
