clark_roberts Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 <p>Hi all, <br> I purchased this charger for a great price on ebay and was wondering if you guy's or gals <br> have any great tips on using it. It seems pretty well built and I did plug it in and it lite up<br> with a beep!<br> Thanks <br> Clark</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_3607948 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 <p>Clark,</p> <p>The MAHA charger works fine; need to make a connection to the Rollei battery. The connection end of the battery case is plastic (insolation purposes) so you can insert a connector from the charger through the holes without problem. I used some inexpensive voltmeter probes flattened/narrowed to insert into the connections.<br> With the battery oriented so that the end (face that plugs into the camera) is to the right and holes on top: pin 1 at the top is positive (fused) ; the next two are negative; the fourth pin is positive (no fuse). I think the fuse protects the film advance motor thus isolating the camera electronics by the connection with the battery. The final two (closest) are temp sensor connections for the Rollei charger. The MAHA uses a separate, magnetic temp sensor while operating. <br> You can find replacement batteries, all eight connected and plastic wrapped sold as bricks. Disassemble the battery case, remove the old battery, replace with a new brick. If you're not a DYI type then usually finding a refreshed battery isn't too difficult except for best pricing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User_3607948 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 <p>Clark,</p> <p>I found a replacement battery brick at a local electronics supply. Try rolleiclub.com which has a link to the auction site where you'll find Rollei batteries, battery replacement services and batteries for the DYI'ers.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
