Description
With this adapter, you can get your equipment up and running again. It transforms four common LR44 or SR44 batteries into the form factor of the old PX23 (V23PX). These were once standard in various analog cameras, flash units like the Retina S2, and audio equipment such as the Sennheiser K3U.
Since the old mercury cells provided 5.6 V and this adapter (due to the modern batteries) outputs 6.0 V, the voltage is slightly higher. Experience shows, however, that the electronics of the mentioned devices usually handle this tolerance without any problems.
Compatibility
Replaces the following battery types:
- PX23 / V23PX
- 4NR42 / 4LR42 / 4SR42
