Battery adapter for Beaulieu 4008 S, ZM, ZMII, M3

• Replacement for the defective original battery: The old Beaulieu battery packs are usually beyond repair and are hardly available as replacements anymore; available alternatives cost considerably more.
• Metal thread in the lid: Version 2 has an aluminum thread in the screw-on lid, replacing the original’s worn-out plastic threads.
• Operation with standard AAA rechargeable batteries: 6x AAA rechargeable batteries (NiMH, 1.2V), which you can buy anywhere, charged externally in a standard AAA charger. You no longer need the special Beaulieu charger.
• Fits securely on the camera: The adapter occupies the space of the original battery pack without any play.

Description

With this battery adapter, you can fully replace the original battery pack of your Beaulieu 4008, including models ZM, ZM II, ZM 4, and M3, and operate the camera with six standard AAA rechargeable batteries (NiMH, 1.2 V, 7.2 V combined), which you can buy at any time. The batteries are charged externally in a standard AAA charger, so you no longer need the special Beaulieu charger.

This is the revised Version 2: It has an aluminum thread in the screw-on lid, replacing the original’s worn-out plastic threads so that the lid remains securely fastened even after frequent opening and closing. The PCB contact plate connects the adapter to the camera. We designed the adapter and lid ourselves, and they are manufactured in Germany.
