Olympus OM M.15 V Ni-Cd Control Pack 1 - How to charge?

Hi all,

 

This may be a simple question, I've recently acquired the above and a motor drive 1, sadly I don't have the charger, my understanding is that the unit still works but the battery is flat.

 

Other than purchasing the right Olympus charger are there any other options, these days?

 

The other thought was is there a reasonably simple conversion that's well known that will mean I can use this kit longer term and beyond the life of the original battery pack currently fitted?

 

Safe non-explosive options/recommendations only would be preferred

 

Kind regards

HI All,

 

Many thanks for the responses, appreciated, I have now managed to obtain an official charger, the Motordrive 1 works perfectly and the battery still holds charge well, I have noticed that with a 3 hour charge and if not used it depleted to the point of needing a charge again after 8 days...not too bad, I think though a full charge is ~4-5 hours so will perform a small test using these metrics.

 

Kind regards
