Need connector for digicam battery pack

[George]

I want to build an external battery pack for a Canon A590IS
digital camera. It would consist of two C or D cells
and would plug into the jack where the Canon ACK800
(aka CA-PS800) AC adapter normally plugs in. This would be
for making long-term time-lapse sequences. But of course I
will need the right power connector. According to this
site:

http://www.dc-battery.co.uk/replacement-canon-caps200-ac-pow
er-adaptor-p-14519.html?models=CA-PS800

it is a 2.35 x 0.7 mm connector, which would probably be an
EIAJ-01, formerly sold by Radio Shack as 274-1531, but
apparently no longer. Rats.

Does anyone know where I could find this plug? I hate to
order just one from Mouser. Maybe there's some other really
cheap adapter I could get and scavange the plug off of it.
It looks like this plug is rated only up to 3.15V, so it
would be a wall wort with that kind of output.

And I guess I should ask - is there any way to make a
connector that would work?

Thanks for any suggestions.

** My local spare parts dealer " WES Components " in Sydney has them for
A$1.10 each.

Only gotta walk 150 yards to get one......

The coaxial power connectors are OK for up to 24 volts (electric
scooters use them for charging two 12 volt batteries in series)

Check the power connectors at All Electronics:

They have a flat $7 shipping charge.

The camera is a Canon A590IS, and the standard Canon adapter
is the ACK800.
