Want to Buy Rolleiflex SLX Battery

I’m looking for a dead battery for a Rolleiflex SLX. LMK what you have and price shipped to 99324.

I do have the rechargeable 3 cell battery from mignon1.

Be careful with the one from mignon. Some had had problems with them, including me with one for a Rollei 6008. I certainly wouldn’t trust it to stay in the camera while charging.

The original battery I have is holding a charge so far. One roll in and working on another. The Mignon1 battery is tight in my camera. I bought new batteries for it and they charged fine. Powered the camera during a quick test. What is the problem with the holder not staying in the camera while charging.

 

[Pieter12]

The battery and its replacement were not very well made in my opinion and seemed to lack any sort of circuitry or other protection to prevent overheating. That is why I wouldn’t want to charge it while in the camera.

Have you looked into rebuilding your original battery?

 

[wjlapier]

The original I’d like to keep as is for now and find another to rebuild. If the original doesn’t work out I’d like to rebuild it too.

I have one with a LiPo battery (DIY job), but I can de-solder it and sell you the casing for $CAD 15 + 15 shipping (from Canada). One of the screws holding the rear plate doesn't grab well. My SLX died.
