Hasselblad 500 EL / ELM / ELX battery adapter for 5x AAA batteries

The original batteries for the Hasselblad 500 EL series are hardly available anymore. That's why we developed this battery adapter. With the help of this adapter, you can convert 5x rechargeable 1.2V NiMh or lithium batteries into a replacement for the no longer available nickel cadmium batteries (Type DEAC 5/500 DKZ). 

Scope of delivery:

1x adapter without batteries

Usage instructions:

• The Hasselblad 500 EL has two separate battery compartments and works with 1 or 2 batteries (parallel connection)
• A fully charged battery lasts for about 1000 activations
• We recommend using 5x AAA NiMh batteries 1100 mAh from EBL or Eneloop Pro 950 mAh (not included)
  
• The batteries should be charged in a suitable external charger
• The motor of the Haselblad 500 EL is designed for 6V, which corresponds exactly to the voltage of 5x 1.2V NiMh batteries. However, the camera can also handle the slightly higher voltage of 7.5V when using AAA alkaline batteries (for environmental reasons, rechargeable batteries should be used).
• To replace the batteries, you first need to remove the battery compartment cover (Fig. 33) on the side of the camera. To do this, turn the lock (Fig. 34) with a coin.
• The batteries are designed to be inserted only in the correct orientation.
• In order for the camera to function, a functional fuse (Fig B) must be installed (1.6 Amp medium-slow blow fuse; size 5x20 mm)
