  • Replacement for defective original batteries: Fits exactly in place of the hard-to-find special battery — with five standard AAA cells, your camera will work again.
  • Stable voltage for the motor: Five NiMH cells at 1.2V each provide the 6V required by the motor of the 500 EL series.
  • Optional one or two batteries: The camera is ready to use with just one battery; with two, the runtime is doubled.
  • Externally rechargeable: The AAA cells can be changed quickly and recharged promptly in an external charger.
  • Available as a complete package: The second option includes 10x Varta AAA rechargeable batteries (1000 mAh), three storage boxes, and a charger.

Safety instructions

  • The batteries must NEVER be charged in the camera’s original charger. Please use only an external charger.

Description

This battery adapter replaces the hard-to-find special battery (NH5/800) of the Hasselblad 500 EL, 500 EL/M, 500 ELX and 553 EL: five AAA NiMH rechargeable cells at 1.2 V each together deliver the 6 V the motor needs.

Without power, nothing moves in the Hasselblad 500 EL. We designed this battery adapter so that your camera can run on modern AAA rechargeable batteries instead of the original battery.

You can use the adapter with either one or two batteries: The camera is already functional with one battery, while two batteries double the runtime.

Make sure that your camera’s 1.6A fuse is intact. The batteries must only be charged externally, never via the camera’s original charger.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check before inserting it? Whether your camera’s 1.6 A fuse is intact.

What’s in the complete kit? A battery adapter, 10 Varta AAA rechargeable batteries with 1000 mAh, three battery storage boxes, and a charger.

  1. Thomas P.Verified

    Eine sehr gute Investition!

    Funktioniert perfekt! Die Akkus laden sehr schnell und der Adapter passt perfekt in die Kamera! Da freut sich auch meine 500 EL/M, denn jetzt kann sie wieder zum Fotografiereinsatz kommen (die alten Akkus haben nach 10 Bildern „schlappgemacht“)!

  2. Cyrus B.Verified purchase

    The perfect solution

    I’ve had an ELM for many years, but have always had to live with the old 9V battery converter. This AAA battery pack is a life changer!

    Hasselblad Batterie-Adapter

    Der Adapter für die Hasselblad ELM funktioniert perfekt. Die Kamera arbeitet einwandfrei mit den eingelegten Batterien. Das Herausnehmen der Batterien gestaltet sich leider etwas kompliziert. Es empfiehlt sich, ein Stoffbändchen hinter die Batterien zu legen um die Batterien leichter aus dem Adapter zu entfernen. Der Preis für die Adapter ist relativ hoch, aber ich nehme an, das ist der geringen Produktions-Stückzahl geschuldet. Wer weiterhin mit der elektrischen Hasselblad arbeiten möchte, ist mit dem Adapter gut bedient.

    Imported from Amazon

    Funktioniert, lediglich das Entfernen der Akkus ist etwas fummelig.
