UK Source for QL17 GIII Batteries

[digitaldave]

Can anyone recommend a UK source for replacement batteries for a QL17 GIII? If possible somewhere on the high street, but mail order will do. I'm not too worried at the moment about 1.5v vs 1.35v, I just want to get a battery to get the camera working when it arrives.

Thanks,

Dave.

You can use an LR9. It's 1.5v
Mine haddn't been used for 20 odd years till recently. I stuck it into Quiggs in Glasgow to get the seals replaced and have her checked over. They tweeked the meter to suit the 1.5v battery and it seems to meter fine. And the battery fits fine in the slot without modification.
Of course you can just compensate for the meter error by adjusting the asa setting. Or forget about the meter and use a hand held meter.

Oh you can get LR9's from www.7dayshop.com
