Minox 35 ML battery

Lennart Mårtensson , Aug 11, 2005; 07:42 a.m.

Have recently got a Minox 35 ML from a friend. The camera have not been used for more than 15 years and the battery was empty of course. I could not get a PX 28 Lithium battery, instead I tryed a Panasonic alkaline 4LR44. The camera refuses to work! Can anyone tell me were to get the right battery or is the camera maybe dead for ever??

I'm not 100% sure that the 35 ML is exactly the same as a 35 EL. However I just replaced the battery in my 35 EL with an alkaline V27PX, available at Batteries Plus for $6.99.

Some people have voiced concern about the 6v vs. 5.6 for the original mercury. In my case the exposure is excellent, and I use it every day.

Search in this forum, there are some hints on how to use normal batteries, using the shell of the old one. There is also a link to someone who sells replacements on ebay.

Unless you made a non-conductive sleeve for the cells, they will short out.

Nah, attaching a pdf doesn't seem to be possible. Email me and I'll send it to you.
