2Pcs MR-9 Battery Adapter Replacement for Film Camera and Exposure Meter MR9 PX625 PX13

The simplicity of this design is an elegant solution to fitting a common, modern battery into an Olympus OM-1 or a Minolta Hi-Matic. I like this much better than trying to fold up foil or paperclips around hearing aid batteries etc.

This is exactly what I needed to get started using an older camera that I was just about to give up on ever using.

For older cameras and meters that required the no longer available mercury base button cells, this allows the use of very inexpensive and easily found watch/hearing aid batteries. For voltage sensitive applications, I use the silver oxide 386 (SR43W) cell. Alkaline are are less expensive and work well in devices that are not sensitive to voltage. I am using these in a Canon F1n, a Gossen Luna Pro and some other older photo equipment.

Great solution to substitute a current battery for batteries that are no longer in production!

I can confirm this will fit with a AG 13/LR44 1.5 battery on a Canon Canonet Q17 Giii. Match the longer end with the battery holder and should work! Nice alternative for the more expensive Weins PX625

Adapter works as expected, e.g., to use small 675 1.3V hearing aid batteries in place of a larger MBR625 Wein cell. Note that these particular adapters are not electronic, so they do not alter the battery voltage. Additionally, they may not fit perfectly in all older equipment designed for mercury batteries.

I have a near-mint condition Nikon FTn that has been serviced to use with non-mercury batteries, but I still needed a means to use newer, but smaller silver oxide batteries. This adapter fits and works perfectly! My 53-year-old camera is as good as new!

One way to make old cameras accept new batteries is to do some soldering. I don't know how to solder, and I don't care to learn on the beloved old Minolta that my dad gifted me years ago. These adapters and 675 zinc-air batteries get the job done for me. After putting this combo into my old SLR, my exposures came out just fine. Plus, these adapters are vastly cheaper than ones you'll find elsewhere. If you want to revive your old cameras' meters without resorting to amateur surgery, get these.

Perfect fit for a 1.5V Energizer 357 silver oxide battery, SR44 equivalent. Metering on the AP Spottie F perfectly matches the metering on a Pentax MX I've just had fully overhauled and calibrated.
