Two CR2 or CR123 batteries could work, 3v each so 6v total and they should have enough current capability (since they were originally designed for photo flash units). In this video I just wanted to show that an I-Type cartridge will work in a ProCam. I have also made another video with a 600 cartridge and used power from that.
@@robertw1469 i hear you, ive been watching your videos and ive been getting a few ideas. Im gonna try to hotglue 2 cr2 batteries in a cartridge with popsicle sticks as spacers and contacts underneath so i can run i type.
Hello i have a question if you dont mind. I was testing my spectra camera today. I took a battery from a 600 film pack and put it in a spectra film pack. The dark slide ejected perfectly but when i took the first picture it did not eject i pulled the first sheet and tried again. The motors made the normal sound and the flash went off but it did not eject. I tried again and the shutter would not go off and the battery seemed to slowly die and the rear screen turned off. Do you have an idea why this might be? I did cut the 600 battery to fit in the spectra cartridge so im thinking i mightve damaged the battery. Do you think it could be a defective camera? The camera is quite old of course and the film was expired in 1991. With a new battery it should have worked so im confused. Maybe you have knowledge on this. I will try again with two cr123 batteries just to make sure the camera is functional but if it isnt id like to know if there is a fix if possible
@@LMFAO5001 Sounds like the battery you used is dead, but you said it's fresh? Are you able to check the voltage of the battery with a voltmeter? It should be be 5.8-6.2v but you should check the voltage after cycling it a few times in the camera. You do that to put a load on the battery as I noticed that batteries "recover" a bit of voltage if they're unused for awhile but then the voltage immediately drops once under load. I've experienced the motor/dark slide working but not the shutter (it makes a click then stops) when I had used dead batteries.
@@robertw1469 yeah i had just bought a pack of 600 to use the new battery which is what has me confused. I dont have a voltmeter but ill pick one up. It does seem like a dead battery but im not sure how. Im not home now but when im back ill try again. Maybe i was too impulsive and took too many shots quickly. Should i let the camera rest before taking another shot?

You could use one cr2 battery and fit it inside a spectra cartridge
