Hello everybody out there!
I wonder if someone could give me a hand, please!
I have recently purchased a XTPower MP-S23000 external battery to feed my Canon eos 5D Mark II during 12-hours full night timelapses, as per recommendation of Gunther Wegner. The performance of this battery looks impressive as it's a 23000 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery, all in 670 grams. It is very lightweight and looks gorgeous. It comes with a whole bunch of adapters to fit almost any laptop, mobile and other devices, but not for any camera.

In order to feed my 5D MkII, Gunther suggested me to manufacture my own Canon-compatible cord, which I will, with the help of an unexpensive Canon compatible Chinese ACK-E6 battery adapter

Until here OK, but now this is my question:
The MP-S23000 has 3 selectable voltage outputs: 12v, 16v and 19v, BUT the 5D MkII works with 7,2v batteries. What am I supposed to do here? Do I need a voltage adapter to turn 12v down to 7,2v? Do I feed the camera directly with the 12v power..?

I haven't found any related info on the net about this.
Any help will be welcome.
