There is something inside the coupler but I haven't explored what it is. Earlier in the thread someone described taking the coupler apart.
I can't measure the output I am afraid.

The input is not 5v. It's standard voltage which would be applied, the dc coupler is for Fuji np 50 battery which is the same as Pentax DLI68.
The usb adapter is a standard fuji clone so the voltage etc. changes via the coupler.for
In theory so much easier than other methods above.

Problem resolved!
A little bit of plastic removal and turn the wire back on itself...now comes out the right way and the battery compartment door can now be closed properly

I have the dc coupler, a usb cable that replaces the fuji charger which then plugs into a powerbank. The total cost £13gbp and no messing about. There is a snag.....the dc coupler is for fuji and the side is on the wrong corner for Pentax so the battery door has to be left open.
However I may buy another coupler and reverse the polarity.....

Apologies for the nonsense above :o
From ebay I purchased the DC coupler referred to in a previous post. Thinking about the whole situation I thought "what if Fuji made a cable that didn't need the voltage changing so I could run from powerbank to camera with no further alterations to electrical wiring required.
On Amazon I spotted this Kingfisher Technology 90cm USB 5V 2A PC Black Charger: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
It arrived today and lo and behold it fits and it works.
The only problem is that the lead from the DC coupler is on the opposite side to that which would fit the push out tab on the Q..This means the battery compartment door cannot be closed..
Should I bite the bullet and reverse polarity on the DC coupler?
Hope it now makes sense:o:)
