Just an FYI:
I'm using a Concord Eye-Q camera which operates off of (2) AA batteries (3 volts)
I wanted to use 1 lantern battery to power everything (6 volts).
I got brave, and hooked the Concord up to 6 volts. The camera appeared to be turning on for less than 1 second, then went dead. I thought, now I did it! I disconnected the 6 volt, replaced it with the original batteries, and away it went! It must have some over-voltage protection. It wouldn't run, but I didn't let the smoke out either!
Now the cam is back to normal, works great. I guess I got lucky.
