WeinCell
Mercury-free Replacements
Batteries - new life for your old camera!
WeinCell is a revolutionary
new zinc/air
battery designed to replace the environementally-unfriendly (banned)
mercury batteries.
Because of their extremely stable output curve, mercury cells were used in many cameras and exposure meters to ensure the most accurate exposure reading possible. But the disposal of mercury batteries has become an environmental problem, and an increasing number of states and other governments are responding by prohibiting the cells altogether. Alkaline replacements don't do
the trick
Several battery manufacturers now offer alkaline batteries as replacements for their discontinued mercury cells. In most cases, the replacement does not have the same voltage as the mercury batter y that it is replacing (usually 1.5volt instead of 1.35); and the unstable output inherent with alkaline batteries can result in exposure errors up to 2 f-stops! Only WeinCells deliver exact voltage and stable output consistent with mercury batteries. There is a WeinCell to replace each of the following mercury batteries: PX625/PX13, PX675, and RM400. Each has performance identical to the battery it replaces - exactly what you need to get those classic cameras shooting again. |

WeinCells have been
tested and
recommended by top trade magazines:
Bob
Shell, Shutterbug Magazine
"The WeinCell uses an environmentally safe electrolyte which exactly duplicates the 1.35V output and discharge curve of the defunct mercury cells." "So far we have tested the WeinCell in most types of cameras and light meters designed for use with mercury cells and have not found anything yet that they do not work in." "Silver cells and alkaline cells emphatically do not work correctly in equipment designed for mercury cells because they have the wrong voltage and discharge curves and can cause exposure errors of as much as two f/stops." James Bailey, Popular Photography Magazine "...alkaline batteries are a poor substitute [for mercury cells], even if they're the same size and deliver a similar initial output." "In our trials using a Gossen Luna-Pro exposure meter, we got the same readings whether we used a brand-new 625 mercury cell...or WeinCells." |
