- Replacement for the Dryfit lead-acid battery: Battery holder for 10 standard AA cells instead of the heavy, often defective, and no longer available original battery (6038, 6039, A-605, 4-2k).
- Correct voltage, double capacity: internal wiring connects 2x5 cells in parallel — resulting in 6V nominal voltage with NiMh and double the capacity.
- Saves functional technology from electronic waste: Everything on the flash itself is intact, only the original battery is dead — with the battery holder, it stays in use.
- Available as a complete set on request: Variants with 10x EBL AA batteries (2800mAh NiMh) and external 12-slot charger.
Safety Instructions
NEVER charge in the original charger! The AA batteries must be charged in an external charger. Connecting the flash generator to the power supply with the adapter inserted leads to overheating and fire hazard.

Die AA Ni-MH akkus passen recht stramm in den basket und mein Mecablitz CT 60-1 funktioniert wieder. Ich habe die anweisung von einer US AI site befolgt und habe den condensator für etwa 10 minuten "erfrischt".
Alles funktioniert gut und ist leichter als der dead Metz blei akku.
Der Batteriekorb für den Metz CT-4 Blitz ist eine gute Lösung um den wirklich tollen, lichtstarken Blitz auf nachhaltige Weise weiter zu nutzen.
Nachdem die zweite Dryfit-Batterie den Geist aufgegeben hatte und ich keinen passenden Ersatz mehr finden konnte, dachte ich natürlich an AA-Batterien, scheute aber den Aufwand daran herumzubasteln. Genau da ist die Lösung von Ausgeknipst jeden Euro wert.
Vielen Dank, der Akkuhalter für den Metz CT2 funktioniert gut und ich bin total glücklich das alte Gerät wieder benutzen zu können. Damit sind funktionstüchtige und gute Geräte vor dem wegwerfen gerettet. Das ist aktiver Umweltschutz.
Sich Gedanken um ältere Geräte, die noch voll funktionsfähig sind, machen sehr wenig Firmen.
Deshalb ist es sicherlich sinnvoll und nachhaltig moderne Technik (wie hier im 3D-Druck) zum Einsatz zu bringen, um diese Geräte noch am Leben zu halten.
Glückwunsch zu dieser Idee. Funktioniert bestens.

This kit is a perfect solution for my old Metz 60CT4. The flash works fine, but the original dryfit batteries are since many years out of production. With this kit I can finally again use the flash. The kit is also very easy to use.
Ricevuto difettoso adattatore per pile AA su flash Metz. Me ne è stato prontamente inviato uno nuovo senza problemi. Pienamente soddisfatto.
