Hope you are all doing just fine. Just wanted to share some news with you. Some of you have spoken with our gal Diana, one of our company partners. She recently was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer so she needs all your prayers and good thoughts sent her way. She would really appreciate that. She's in good spirits and with a very positive attitude!
We'll keep you posted.
Thank You so much. Have a good day and be safe.

Hello all,
Just a follow up on the LP-E6 for the Canon D5 MarkII Camera. We have had some issues arise with this new battery. We contacted our Manufacturer and discovered that the chips he received for this battery were not 100% complete and cannot be charged on the original chargers (as some of you may have already discovered). - Not good for any of us. We will be waiting to get new batteries with the 100% info chip in and will again let you know when they are available. Sorry for any inconvenience to customers who ordered this battery. We of course are going to reimburse those who bought it as soon as the merchandise is returned to us.
Hope you all have a great weekend and consider us for your back to school laptop battery and laptop adapter needs. I feel for those who contact us to see how quickly we can get a battery or charger to them because all their work to be turned in on the following Monday or a couple of days away is in the computer and they have no power. Pretty scary. That is the time to make sure you have a copy of important things on a storage devise or a back up adapter at least (batteries can loose their charge if they a left sitting around waiting to be used, so are best ordered as needed).
Catch you later,
Just Diana

Hello there - Just Diana again.
A little update on the new chargers coming in . . . I said by the middle of August, but we just got an update today from the manufacturer and it is looking more like the beginning of September. Sorry about that.
We got some good feedback from a customer today concerning third party batteries. He suggested we give some info referencing the battery cells and the safety features on our batteries. Just a little info on that . . .
All our cellls are either Sanyo or Panasonic, just like the OEM batteries carry. All are CE approved and must have 4 seperate safety devices. We will post a long version of these 4 safety features this week, for you and others to see. We have not to this date ever had a battery expolde.
Thanks again Damian!
Steve is going to get more info for you all on the safety devices in the camera batteries. We will post it soon.
Well, I best get back to work. It's always great to hear from you our customers. That's what we are all here in this world for, learning from each other as we share our thoughts and insights into things.
Have a great week,
Just Diana

Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long to get this posted; we have been keeping very busy here at Diamondback!
We have now been in business for one year and have had more than 6000 orders so far. Thank you so much for your help and support!
I know that I put in the last blog that I was going to have a few sessions about basic electronics, and I am going to do that, but I do want to let everyone know that we are now also featured on Amazon. Just like everything else these things start off slow but we have already seen some success.
Ok, now for the quick electronics lesson. The first thing everyone needs to know is a basic understanding of what electricity is.
Most people know that electricity is a flow of electrons. These electrons can be transmitted through and conductor. A conductor can be almost anything from a copper wire to the human body.
What most people don’t understand are the electrical terms. Let’s just learn just a few of the major ones and we will move on to more next week. Voltage, current (or Amperage) and resistance will be the three we look at. I find these terms to be easier to understand when I can explain as water as opposed to electricity.
Voltage is like the water pressure in a pipe. When this pressure is correct then it is very useful, when incorrect it can be very destructive. Lightning is a great example of a very high voltage that can cause damage, but not the only one. In different parts of the world household voltages are different ranging from about 100V to about 250V. When a device designed to work with 110V is plugged into an outlet rated at 240V it normally fizzles and pops and becomes generally unusable except as a paperweight.
Current is simply the amount of electricity flowing through a conductor, just like the amount of water flowing through a pipe. Most devices list their maximum current output this can be listed in Amperes or milli-Amperes or just Amps. Sometimes these numbers can also be listed as Watts, that is voltage times the current. The current listing on a device can be thought of more like the size of a water pipe, the larger the pipe the more water can flow through the pipe.
Resistance is like a faucet. Low resistance is like an open faucet, high resistance is a closed faucet. Resistance controls the flow of current allowed to flow through a device.
So, getting back to the water analogy if you have a device that has a high voltage and it rated with a large current (such as a clothes dryer) could be thought of a fire hose. Lightning (high voltage and low current) could be thought of a super high pressure water gun. A small 1.5v battery could be thought of as a small hose with a slow drip.
The standard equation for voltage, current and resistance is V=IR where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance. This is known as ohm’s law. If you know any two of the variables you can easily find the third by manipulating the equation. For example R=V/I or I=V/R .
Next week we can talk a little bit about batteries and AC adapters and how those things work.
Here are a couple of links to our most popular items:

Hello Everyone,
It has been almost a month since our last post, but we do want to keep everyone posted on everything exciting that is going on here at Diamondback.
We have been working hard to gear up for our busiest season. This has been quite a challenge with laptop batteries and new Sony H series batteries selling as fast as we get them in.
We should receive our next battery load in about 10/13/08, so if you are waiting on a NP-FH100 or Dell battery that we are out of, we should have those back in stock then, so keep checking back.
I am also planning to write a few posts over the following weeks about the basics of electronics. This is probably pretty boring stuff for a lot of you, but we do get quite a few questions dealing with just these issues. This should include battery basics, AC adapters as well as battery chargers.
Thank You,
Steve

September, and plenty to show for it.
Good Afternoon,
Well, we have made it to September yet again. This has been an exciting year for us since our inception back in September of 2007. Our actual 1 year anniversary will be November 1st, but this is the month when we started our meetings and talks to begin Diamondback Battery. I am very proud to say that we have had a wonderful first year, and I expect nothing but the best from the future. With plans to continue giving the best customer service possible combined with top quality items for reasonable prices, all of our customers can expect big things in the coming years as well.
Now, to really kick this update into high gear, I have 9 new items to post for you. As always, these items are on the store ready to ship as soon as they are ordered. So, stepping off:
Samsung Equivalent SLB-1137C Battery
Samsung Equivalent BP-80W Battery
Canon Equivalent BP-2L24 Battery
Canon Equivalent BP-809 Battery
Canon Equivalent BP-214 Battery
Sony Equivalent NP-FH50 Battery
Sony Equivalent NP-FH70 Battery
Sony Equivalent NP-FH100 Battery
Sony Equivalent NP-FH100 Battery and Charger Combo
So, the NP-FH series of batteries I talked about in the last two updates are up on the store and ready to ship, along with a battery charger combo for the NP-FH100 for $99.99. With the Sony Equivalent NP-FH100 Battery being $49.99 each, that deal actually gets you a charger and your shipping for free. Combine that with our coupon we send with each order and your looking at one heck of a deal for a great battery.
I would also like to note something about our NP-FH series batteries. While many other after market batteries have been bypassing the info-lithium chip problems by having an external cord that you connect to the ac jack of your camera. Our batteries come with the current info-lithium chip. No cords, nothing hanging out of the camera. Just slide the battery into place and you are ready to go.
We have received a new shipment of our laptop batteries and adapters as well. So a lot of the batteries that we had run out of stock on for a short time are also back on the store and ready to go.
Everyone here at Diamondback Battery and Electronics hopes you are having a great back to school season. With things really getting into swing this year is going to go by fast. I know I personally am looking forward to Halloween so I have an excuse to indulge my sweet tooth, and with Thanksgiving and Christmas not to far down the road things are about to get really exciting.
I hope everyone has a great day and a wonderful weekend.
Thank you
Brian
