Title: Batteries for P25 Back ?
Post by: juiceboy99 on September 02, 2008, 12:20:22 pm
Hi,  I just purchased a used P25 back and would like to know
which batteries are the best for the P25 ?

I think i will get 3rd party batteries as original Phase One Batteries
are not worth their price.........

thanks!

juiceboy99,

If you do a search on this topic, you will discover that a lot of discussion has been written on this forum about replacement and 3rd party batteries for your Phase One P25.

I for one will pay the price (approximately 70 dollars each) when the need arises for some extra batteries as the cost of a Phase One OEM battery (with the greater mah current rating and the correct size to fit the back's battery cavity) is dirt cheap compared to the cost of the Phase One Digital Back itself.

YMMV,

Best Regards,

Joe Bossuyt

juiceboy99,

Have a look at these threads:

http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index....ase+one+battery (http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27330&hl=phase+one+battery)

And:

http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index....showtopic=27252 (http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27252)

They will have, I think, all the info you need in making your decision about batteries.

BTW, congratulations on your Phase One P25 purchase.

How much is the charger? I have the original charger from a P21 (non plus) back and it's awful, you have to jiggle it to get it to work and even then you can't be sure the connection won't be interrupted mid charge. I hope this new P60 back has some seriously upgraded batteries, I got a canon xsi and it's battery system is so nice, convenient, long lasting, small, cheap, etc.

The Hanel Twin Charger is $220.00.  It's a great charger that shows your your % of charge even if it is not plugged in.  It also comes with a several adaptors (including a cigarette) to allow you plug in anywhere and charge.
