Could anyone give me a link to a reasonably priced battery that definitely works with an MX-1?

Brian,

Thanks but link does not work. Have read on this forum that some supposedly compatible batteries don't work so I'm looking for somebody who has purchased and found them to be definitely ok.

These work OK:

Gartmore linked to them before Christmas and I took his recommendation. However they look to be out of stock at the moment so probably not much help to you!

Perhaps you can find these somewhere else.

Had noticed that link but, as you say John, out of stock unfortunately.

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

The Pentax and Ricoh GR batteries are the same.
Best regards, John

Not me I'm afraid. I'm firmly in the manufacturers battery camp

Sorry, beg your pardon. I tried to find the post again but couldn't, hence my other recent comment that a forum search for MX-1 surprisingly returns zero results! Whether the thread has been removed or not is hard to say.

Matt (Mattmatic) created a post before Christmas on this topic, entitled Secondary battery for MX-1 link

I purchased a battery from the eBay seller linked in the thread. It arrived within 2 days and I found it to fit correctly and perform at least as well the original. The link is still live and the price is £5.78 delivered

Regards - Steve

Yes, that was it. The battery linked to in that is fine and even came with a useful case, however showing zero stock presently.

Still looking. Ordered one that looked identical to that on the E Bay link above from Amazon Marketplace but it did not fit.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a 'cheapie' that does?

I gave some eBay links of ones that work.

Those that don't fit can be made to fit by carefully taking out the extra bit of plastic on the corners. Do it carefully as the plastic case is thin - so don't exert too much force! Might be able to show some images
