Batteries for Classic SLR Cameras







I recently conducted tests on replacement batteries for classic SLR’s such as the Minolta SRT 101 above.  When such cameras were marketed, the battery of choice contained mercury which is no longer available in the US and in many other countries.  The tests show differences in those currently available choices that most closely match the original battery.  If you wish to see the details, they can be found at:

SLR: Single Lens Reflex.  A common type of camera designed such that the image capturing lens is also used for scene framing and focusing.  When the shutter is tripped, the mirror momentarily is moved out of the lens, path allowing the film to be exposed.
Batteries: The power source that allows use of the cameras light metering system.
