Hi.
My camera take a small battery that doesn't last too long. I thought if I could put 2 batteries in parallel (because I have a suitable enclosure that happens to fit the bottom of the camera and is even the same colour) I could then cram a couple of diodes and/or resistors in series/parallel with the batteries to limit the amperage to what one battery alone outputs.
Each battery is 7.2~7.4vdc @ 1500ma
So two in parallel would keep the voltage constant but raise the amperage to 3000ma, correct? I want to drop that back to 1500ma which should close to double my battery life without having to manually swap batteries so often.
Any circuits available?
Would this be sufficient (click to view larger image)?:

Thanks for your time and your help!
