WTB: V1PX battery

[Helveticum]

This rare battery is used in old photocameras (I need it for my Canonet), they're inceredibly hard to find online, I'd have to order from the States (ridiculous shipping rates too), thought someone might have a spare one
Long shot but worth a try.

This website claims this battery is a replacement for the type you are looking for,http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_lr50.htm

I'm not really clued up about these things so forgive me if i'm wrong.

Just had a look online...there seem to be readily available online....I think they're the same ones ....

Try typing......"Camera battery LR50" into the search engine............see if they're the same..the ones I found are about £ 2.99 each.

I've found The Small Battery Company very useful for obscure stuff. Could always ask them

Thanks guys, guess I'm gonna have to try this replacement, fingers crossed

The older camera cells, like the one you have there, tended to contain Mercury, and the production of batteries containing Mercury became outlawed a few years back.

As long as the dimensions and the voltage are a good match, any replacement should work.
