Most watches use this size battery . I end up fixing most of my families and friends watches with these batterie. A jeweler charges $5 to 10 bucks to replace a battery I can do as a favor for nothing ...
I went with the original part . Mine had tell tale signs of failure . Clicking constantly when turning the compressor on and off , and not allowing compressor to run the correct amount of time to properly cool the fridge . One thing that did occur was the one terminal that the two wires from the power to the part had an issue. The new parts one terminal is wider than original .power wire wont fit . Only way to get it to fit is to get a small file in the slot and take the material off so the wire slips on . Spreading the terminal from the wire would not work , its too strong and you run the risk of splitting it . Best bet is be patient and just get a small file and grind the material away till it fits . That was the hardest part of installing this part , the rest was simple

My Favorite Camera In my Collection Of 100
This camera is a work horse , a tank .. You cant kill it . It takes great shots , warns you when you dont have enough light . Easy to use , lasts forever . The internal battery was said to last only 10 years ,but most last long after . The only weak spot is the LCD screens tend to bleed after time. (Worse on later 9000's)....Long battery life from the AAA , Longer from the larger AA Battery pack (Optional acces.)....
It looks Nice , Has a comfortable feel. Works smoothly and loads easily . It is easily figured out without the benefits of a manual ..
I have 2 in great condition , and a 3rd,a "Bride Of Frankenstein" , that is scratched , been dropped , dented , but it still takes great pictures ...
Add this one to your 35MM collection , you wont be sorry ...Stick with the Minolta AF lenses on this model , avoid the Quantaray's and Sigmas , Ive seen too many of these squeal , chatter ,or just fail ...
In All,Its a great camera , Probably Minoltas best ...They can be picked up at a great price because there are so many out there . The Minolta lenses are easily picked up , and at a bargain price ......
