  • Delivers the correct metering voltage: The P312 zinc-air cells provide a stable 1,35V under load, exactly the voltage the light meter of the old Spotmatics and Fujicas was built for.
  • Replacement for the no longer available mercury cell: The original mercury batteries are no longer sold, while modern 1,5V alkalines lead to incorrect readings.
  • Sits firmly in the battery compartment: The included rubber ring centres the smaller cell and makes contact without it wobbling loosely in the compartment.

Description

Your Pentax Spotmatic needs a battery with a constant 1,35 V; from the factory, this was a mercury cell. These cells are no longer available today, which is why this set mechanically adapts P312 zinc-air hearing aid batteries to the required format: a rubber centering ring holds the smaller cell in the battery compartment, and under load it delivers a stable 1,35 V, exactly the voltage the light meter was built for. Also fits the Fujica ST601 and ST701.

Electrically, the zinc-air cells are the direct replacement for the old PX400, EPX400 and V400PX types. The light meter works correctly without you having to adjust the camera. The rubber ring establishes the contact.

Note: zinc-air batteries are activated by peeling off the seal. Wait about one minute before inserting them into the camera.

Frequently asked questions

Why not a regular 1,5 V alkaline? Alkaline cells start at 1,5 V and drop over their lifetime. The Spotmatic's light meter is designed for a constant 1,35 V and gives incorrect readings with alkaline cells.

How do I activate the zinc-air cells? Peel off the seal, wait about one minute, then insert them into the camera.

What is included in the set? The “2x Adapter & Batteries” variant contains 2 rubber centering rings and 6 zinc-air batteries type P312. The refill pack contains 6 batteries without rings.

Which battery types does the set replace? PX400, EPX400 and V400PX.

After a purchase we ask for a review by email. New reviews appear automatically; we read them afterwards and never remove one because of its star rating. “Verified purchase” means the review came through the review link of an order in our shop. “Verified” marks older reviews that our previous review service, Judge.me, had labelled as verified. Reviews imported from Amazon are labelled and not included in the average. How we collect and check reviews
