- Everyday button cells instead of a specialty battery: This adapter is for you if you’d like to run your Canon AE-1, AE-1 Program or A-1 on four LR44 or SR44 cells from now on, which you can pick up almost anywhere, even at the drugstore. Without the adapter, you’ll need the ready-made 4LR44 battery.
- Works with two cell types: The set comes with four LR44 (alkaline) cells, or you can use four SR44 (silver oxide) cells instead.
You’ll also need: the adapter, if you choose the “4 SR44, no adapter” option. This option is the refill pack for anyone who already has the adapter.

Description
Description
The right battery for your Canon AE-1, AE-1 Program or A-1: this adapter lets you run it on four off-the-shelf LR44 or SR44 button cells instead of a single 4LR44 (PX28). It sits in the battery compartment and supplies the 6V the camera expects. That way you can get a camera running again that had been put away for lack of a suitable battery.
We make the adapter ourselves in Würzburg.
Installation tip
Installation tip
On some Canon AE-1 Program bodies, the spring-loaded pin at the bottom of the battery compartment slips into the hole in the adapter’s eyelet instead of pressing against a battery contact. When that happens, the camera gets no power. If so, turn the cells in the adapter round by 180° and insert the adapter turned 180° as well. The polarity stays the same, but the pin now lands directly on a battery contact. That way the adapter can stay in the camera permanently.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I use SR44 instead of LR44? Yes. SR44 are silver oxide cells: they hold their voltage more steadily and last longer. They cost a little more, but they’re the same size and fit the same adapter.

I ordered this a bit ago and it brought my "dead" camera back alive.
Feels good to give "old" gear a new life again. -

Der Adapter + Knopfzellen hat bei meiner Zenza Bronica SQ AM nicht funktioniert, musste Varta V28PX kaufen
Reply from Ausgeknipst ·
Hallo Lothar, schade, dass der Adapter an deiner SQ-Am nicht lief, und danke für den Hinweis auf die V28PX. Die Ursache kennen wir noch nicht sicher. Bei der SQ-Am versorgt die 6-Volt-Zelle nur den Verschluss, der Motor läuft über eigene Mignonzellen. Wenn du magst, schreib uns an info@ausgeknipst.de, dann gehen wir dem gemeinsam nach.
