You are correct, they have to be. 7.2v is the nominal voltage for the battery(3.6v per LiIon cell) however when fully charged they can be between 3.9 to 4.2v per cell, or 7.8 to 8.4 for the pack. I'm guessing Canon's charger doesn't go above 4v per cell for increased battery life.
I reckon the Jaycar power supply will work, you may get a low battery message tho
Edit: if this regulator I'll be testing works well, and I dont kill it testing it, I'll send you the spare one. Not sure when I get them tho.
