Rollei E 36 RE FLASH Battery Question

[blumoon]

I acquired this Rollei E 36 RE flash this week.
It works great with the adapter plugged in, but the battery is not good.
Does anyone know where I could get a battery for it?
Any idea what it's worth with the adapter and the Rollei flash bracket?

Maybe this idea can help, if you handy at the workbench?

Blumoon, as far as I know, NOBODY makes those batteries anymore. I've had 2-3 E36-RE's over the years and I think my camera repairman said it best: "Great flash design...piss poor battery design".

I did weddings with these with a homemade battery pack-first with a motorcycle battery and later with a gell cell battery.

I have the last battery adapter I made for use with my powerpack. If you want it, it's yours. Just PM me.
