AJG Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 This should work--it certainly won't damage the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The commercial batteries are just four 1.5v cells packaged together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_hutcherson Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 As said, it will work fine. I've done it on other A series cameras in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 You might wrap some tape around to help hold them in place, but otherwise it should be fine. There is also the PX28L which is a two cell (3V each) lithium battery. I have a Nikon EL2, which uses the same battery but it goes under the mirror. I haven't tried putting four separate cells in, but it is probably harder than getting them into the AE-1. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
