Amp battery or something like that, which would calculate to about a 175 Ohm resistor needed. Sounds right or am I totally wrong?

I use to fly RC plains and if you punctured one on impact they would explode in a big way, or charged them wrong or backwards they would explode into a fire ball. These batteries are made to carry a lot of power in a lightweight package and dump it rather quickly, perfect for RC flight, They even need to be charged on a flat hard concrete surface so that if they do burn up nothing gets damaged. The bad thing is that once you short one out, even if by accident it stats the chemical reaction and its gonna explode. There is no stopping it. Lets say you drop your 1D and crack or puncture the lipo battery, battery bursts into flames, magnesium camera catches fire. Its just a bad idea all round. 60D, Canon 18-135 IS, Sigma 10-20 hsm, 24-70 2.8 hsm, 70-200 2.8 hsm, 430EX II, and all the other stuff that goes along with it.

A resistor will give a voltage drop depending on the current running through it (U = R * I). Not what you'd want in this case: You want a current independant voltage drop. I think a simple diode would be a better choice: 0.7V drop each. So 4 diodes will give a 2.8V drop.Totally unsure about how much current the camera draws at a maximum, thus also about what diodes to use. Maybe a 1N4001 is fine, maybe not. Also, obviously, the warning about the Lithium batteries is a good one... I knew I did something wrong. I got totally different results every single time I did it.
