If you bought some batteries for your Rollei 35/35S/35T and you can not figure out where they go, this video is for you!
We sell those Type 675 hearing aid batteries which perfectly fit inside the battery chamber of a Rollei 35, 35 S and 35 T with a rubber ring adapter. This makes them a perfect replacement for the old PX625 mercury batteries that are no longer available.
The batteries that are included are based on Zink-Air and don't distort the measurement of the light meter, since they offer a constant ~ 1.4 V current until complete discharge. - Jak na to + styl

how can I get one of those handy tools to change the battery? Did you guys 3D print that? If so, do you have the file (stl) available?
Hello, the link in your info box is not working anymore. Do you still sell these batteries?
hello! thank you for this video :) im having a bit of trouble unscrewing the battery cap. Like its super hard to rotate, do you know what i should do? thank you!!
Hi, you can try to poor some alcohol or petrol in the thread. Most of the time, the thread is corroded and a bit and a bit of solvent + adequate force might help.
Very clear video. Thanks for the advice. Are these batteries keeping a stable 1.35V along their lives?
Hi, thanks, glad we could help. Yeah, it actually does :)
Received your kit today, thanks a lot! However, even after cleaning contacts and bending the spring, the light meter does not show any movement whatsoever. Is there anything else that I could check? I bought this camera with a non working light meter so I don't know if it's working at all.
Nothing more you can do except finding a donor camera with a working light meter.
hi, thank you very much for the video. just a quick question, how can I find this rubber ring? also waiting more videos about rollei. take care✌🏼
Hi Atila, glad we could help. We sell those little rubber rings together with the batteries. Check out the link in the description!
I just received the kit today and when i tried to bend the spring of the battery cap, the whole spring came off so i pushed it back. Is it normal? I was wondering if I need to solder or something.... it seems my light meter doesnt work, so i have no idea if that was the issue...
Hi, thanks for reaching out.
It can sometimes happen, that the spring jumps out. Pushing it back into place was the correct thing to do :) The important ting is that you still bend the spring, so it makes contact for sure.
If your light meter still does not work, check if the contacts in the battery tray are corroded. You can scrap off the corrosion with a screwdriver and spray it with a bit of contact spray to make sure everything is ok.
If you still have a non-working light meter, it is likely, that the internal cabling of the light meter itself are corroded. To repair this, you require to disassembly the top cover and some soldering skills.
@@ausgeknipst thank you i will try those! Thanks again!!!
Hello, I have a rollei XF35, (PX675) but in the battery compartment it has two poles, one below and one on the side. The o-ring can not be used, How to fix? with a normal MR9 adapter? thank you
Hi, thanks for your question. We are working on a solution, but right now I would use a MR9 adapter. Yes.
@@ausgeknipst
Thanks for the reply. i will try with the mr9 adapter with a zinc air 675 battery (1.45v). Do you think there may be negative indications?
@@youinter Should work just fine.
Can i use sr44 with this adapter?
Yes you can, but a SR44 won't give you the appropriate voltage over time.
Instead of contact cleaner, can i just use an alcohol?! I havent opened it, but i just ordered batteries and rings from you guys!
Yeah, you can try it. Most of the time the contacts are just fine.
Those batteries are 1.4V, not 1.35V...
They drop the 0.05 voltage under load (if you want to be that precise)
@@ausgeknipst best comment !!! about comparative voltage
this is bad advice!
y tho?
only reason I see is that you have to replace those zinc air batteries more frequently since they don't last as long. But this shouldn't be a big deal since they are fairly cheap and replacement is easy. @@ausgeknipst do you have an estimation on the lifespan inside the Rollei 35S ?
