Power Pack for the Nikon D3300

I wish to ask if there is a way, the cheapest the better, how to modify a Nikon EP-5A Power Supply Connector to be attached with a portable power supply I have via USB.
Thank you for any help

If you are looking for longer battery life I would recommend the battery pack handle made for the D3300, the attached link is from Amazon but I am sure you can buy one some where else as well.

I would not recommend using anything not made for the Camera as a power pack, to many possibilities to damage your equipment.

That's a clever accessory. Well, you have the AC adapter in the battery slot, with a wire coming out. What you need is a way to connect that wire to whatever wire you have on your power supply with USB connector. You will need an adapter - USB to whatever is on the end of the power pack wire. If you can post a good picture of it, I bet someone will have a suggestion.

Be Careful, you do not damage your Camera, only use Nikon approved accessories with your D3300.

Thank you for your feedback, I thought if I buy one of these (photo) and modify the cable to an USB I can use a power pack that I have which is to charge smartphones,
