  • Drugstore button cells instead of a special battery: Choose the adapter if you want to run your Canon AE-1, AE-1 Program or A-1 on four LR44 or SR44 cells from now on, which are available almost everywhere; without the adapter, use the ready-made 4LR44 battery.
  • Two cell types supported: The set includes four LR44 (alkaline); alternatively, four SR44 (silver oxide) also fit.

You also need: the adapter for the “4 SR44, no adapter” variant. This variant is the refill pack for anyone who already has the adapter.

Compatibility

Dimensionally, the adapter fits wherever a 4LR44 (PX28) is used, including in:

  • Canon: A-1 and AE-1 (tested); AE-1 Program, AT-1, AV-1, New F-1, 110 ED (untested) more Canon models
  • Pentax: 67, 6x7, ES, ES II (untested)
  • Mamiya: 645, 645 Pro, 645 Super, 7, 7 II, RZ67 Pro, RZ67 Pro II (untested) more Mamiya models

Description

The right battery for your Canon AE-1, AE-1 Program, or A-1: This adapter lets you power it with four standard LR44 or SR44 button cells instead of a single 4LR44 (PX28). It sits in the battery compartment and provides the 6V the camera requires. This way you can bring a camera back to life if it had been taken out of service due to a lack of a suitable battery.

We make the adapter ourselves in Würzburg.

Installation note

On some Canon AE-1 Program cameras, the spring-loaded pin in the bottom of the battery compartment slips into the opening of the adapter's eyelet instead of pressing against a battery contact. The camera then receives no power. In this case, turn the cells in the adapter 180° and also insert the adapter rotated 180°. The polarity remains the same, but the pin makes direct contact with a battery terminal. This allows the adapter to remain installed permanently.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use SR44 instead of LR44? Yes. SR44 cells are silver oxide cells, maintain a more stable voltage, and last longer. They cost a little more but have the same dimensions and fit the same adapter.

  4. Jens B.Verified

    Alle gut alles super!

    Schnell und so wie es sein soll.

  5. Hans-PeterVerified

    Das ist mal ein wirklich cleveres Ersatzteil

    Statt teuerer PX-28-Batterien kauft man sich billige LR44-Knopfzellen, das amortisiert die Anschaffungskosten des Batterieadapters in überschaubarer Zeit.

    NIce quality

    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.
