I tried everything to get it at a normal price, my 550d ac adapter was like $60. China is one option, but I'm impatient. The above links are what is required to power the Nikon, coming in at $250 on average. No way!

My plan as it stands is:

Buy a jaycar 12VDC 3A Car Power Adaptor $30

Using A spare car battery to power it.

Strip the EN-EL15 Rechargeable Battery, remove the Li-ion with caution.

Select and 7.5volts on the car adaptor, the car battery should have enough apms to power the camera till xmas recharge as needed.

That's the plan anyway. I'm sure down the track this post may come in useful to someone else in my situation. I'll post pictures once complete.
