rechargeable CR2 Battery

Hi,

I am an "analogue Minox camera fan" but lately I am thinking about purchasing a Leica miniature digital camera

made by Minox because they look so cute.

But as Martin Tai mentioned and others might have experienced, it uses a CR2 battery and the battery life for a

CR2 Battery is pretty short if you use with this camera. : ) And in my personal view, using disposable battery

for digital camera is not the best idea in the world. Minox should face the reality!

Anyway I have found a rechargeable battery and the charging unit on the internet,

http://www.megabatteries.com/item_details2.asp?id=14647&cat_id=487&uid=1738

But although it says that it can be used in cameras, I cannot be sure if I can use it with the Leica Minox and

other digital cameras. the cell is 3.6V !

Anyone ever heard about these rechargeable batteries?

Regards

ginon,

It appears that Juice CR2 is the only rechargeable CR2 battery on the market. I do use it in my

Rolleiflex minidigi. Even thought the voltage of this rechargeble is 3.6 v , higher than the 3v of CR2,

the picture seems ok

<P>

However, there is always a risk using a non specified battery in a camera. For example, I decided to take a risk

and used it only in my minidigi. As for the Minox DDC Leica M3, which I bought with leather case, and the cost of

that set is nearly twice I paid for minigi, I use only regular CR2 in it.

you have to made your own

decision.

Thank you for the reply Martin. OK. I am going to try one of these Juice cells for a second hand Minidigi when I get one at my own risk. i just hope it's not gonna burn the circuit.

Checking minidigi on ebay, there is only one 3mp version, listed for $349, minidigi is getting expensive.

I have stop using it long time ago, and keep it as collector item.
