Is their any way to power a S9700 externally via the USB port like you can a cell phone?

I own the S9100 and using the USB connection is how the battery is charged. My camera is not functional as a camera when connected to USB connection on my PC for battery charging. My guess regarding the S9700, no. But check the owners manual, might be an answer there or simply try it if you already own a S9700.

Mine came with USB cord - so yes is the answer to your question - however extra battery is needed if you are traveling and taking lots of photos.

the S500Bt doesn't seem to have any pre-amp out connections, so I don't see how you could connect them.

This item doesn't require any external power connectors; it only draws power from the PCI Express slot. Hope this helps.

I think you might possibly be able to connect then together using a usb hub with multiple alternative usb connectors to get a stronger current, unless they have an in-built system to specifically prevent this.

This device does not have an external power supply. It is charged through the USB port, which is a serious weakness in my opinion. That means I can use it on the go, but you can not permanently have it connected to an external drive and SD card, the battery will eventually drain. I really like this system for on the go, but I would also like a permanent set up where it does have external power, can connect to my 5tb external drive and put MicroSD cards in it to copy data to/from.

No, power is only needed when using items that exceed your computer's usb maximum millivolt output.

No. This device does not need external power. Direct plug and play ( like a thumb drive)

I don't see any way on mine. Maybe if you use a USB external power source that you then plug this into .. makes no sense

Yes. I had an SSD drive connected to the back of a server's USB 3 port for weeks without issue with no external power adapter.

No bro, power supply is only for HDMI kit, I curently have used it for a couple of hours an connected a ps3 controller to play some emulators on my Galaxy note 2 an it didn't charge my phone or my ps3 controller. I hope this answer your question.

No, I bought it for the same reason. I have the Galaxy 4s, I believe it requires a power supply. Just use old faithful, laptop.

Yes but you'll still need an external power source. I always plug in with USB.

No. The unit is powered from a permanently sealed battery with 10 year life and cannot use external power, so there would be no point in doing so.

I've never tried to use an external USB drive but I doubt it will power it. As for folders, it will display the
