OK............. a useful link..... Thank You
I changed it, not sure whyIf it is still possible to update your thread title....
It reads as two slightly different printing approaches, rather than "Silver Oxide vs. Lithium batteries"
And current ones - without the change, no one would have guessed the thread was about batteries.I changed it, not sure why
................. is it for (future) searches.?
I had to read it twice to be absolutely sure, but the title change is a good suggestion. The post is short enough that this confirmation took an additional 100 milliseconds (approximately).And current ones - without the change, no one would have guessed the thread was about batteries.
Some of us actually skip over threads sometimes if the title doesn't interest us....I had to read it twice to be absolutely sure, but the title change is a good suggestion. The post is short enough that this confirmation took an additional 100 milliseconds (approximately).
I understand. It appears that you should have skipped over this one!Some of us actually skip over threads sometimes if the title doesn't interest us....
Based upon what happened with Bronica (addition of Lithium support only for the smallest shutter of the three Bronica models), one might speculate that the Lithium cell did not provide sufficient high current flow to support the larger diameter Seiko shutters.
Oh My God that's a long time.!I have three Canon New F1's Chip and two Canon F1n's. I always use Duracell PX 28L lithium batteries in the New F1's that I just changed today after about seven years of use, and Duracell CR32 Lithium batteries with an MR9 voltage reducing adaptor, they are more expensive than the Silver Oxide ones but last considerably longer,
The original member's post was about his Canon New F1, I doubt he has a Zenza Bronica, and after my several decades of usage of these batteries, I can assure you that is the best option for his camera, not only because they are the longest-lasting but also because they don't leak.
So I guess the thread title change served as a welcome reminderI have three Canon New F1's Chip and two Canon F1n's. I always use Duracell PX 28L lithium batteries in the New F1's that I just changed today after about seven years of use,
Be careful with the Alkaline ones Chip keep an eye on them and test them often because what's cheap in the short term can be very expensive in the long run if they leak that Alkane batteries are prone to do and Lithium ones don't.Oh My God that's a long time.!
I just ordered a pack of 8 Alkaline for 7 bux, delivered to my house.
As soon as the hit about 5.8 or 5.7 Volts.........i toss then into the battery recycle bag and toss in a new one.
I will have to try Lithium..........that's a battery Matt...........when i run out of Alk.
10-4... Good Advice..........i check them, bordering on obsession.Be careful with the Alkaline ones Chip keep an eye on them and test them often because what's cheap in the short term can be very expensive in the long run if they leak that Alkane batteries are prone to do and Lithium ones don't.
Personally, I would keep them as a backup and fit a Duracell PX 28L from Amazon, I just bought two of them and before installing them in my cameras tested them on my multimeter, and the voltage measured 6.5.
I did not see all of this coming.Yes, but the topic was 'the practical difference' between the two battery chemistries, not about the suitability in the F1, per se, as the F1 comment was 'FWIW...'
And the F-1 user manual is clear about all three chemistry batteries being suitable. no speculation or understanding of the differences is necessary.
I was wondering if there was much advantage of using one type over the other.
Consistent voltage, long life, etc etc.
