Description
Three alternatives to replace the BP-MZ1 battery.
1- Using 5 AAA NiCd rechargeable batteries
2- Using 2 AA Lithium-Ion batteries
3- Using 2 18650 Lithium-Ion batteries
Use 2 M2.5x10 screws
Cut two small L-shaped tin plates and insert them into the casing for the contacts, soldered to the wires. See photos
Updated:
Added 2x18650 V2, best fit
Added Case Charger (Use a small rivet soldered to wire as contact, or simply make small ball tin of solder on the end of the wire and embed it with heat so that it protrudes) I use an iMAX type charger.
