Need a source for #497 Flash Batteries (Discontinued Pr
Author: ATSF100WEST

For my Singer Graflex Strobe. These batteries pack 510VDC. Googled, but SOL; found one on the "Bay", but it appears to be used.

Help!

Thanks,

Bob

I hadn't thought about those battery packs for years. I used one of those flashes to photograph a friend's wedding in the late '60s. They could give you a serious shoulder pain!

Did you try Batteries + ?
They usually have, or can get any battery out there.
Good luck, cf7

With many of those old flash batteries you will need to cut out the dead cells and solder in new NiCad cells, a big PITA. Perhaps a used flash off eBay would be an option.
