StandardDescription
The 2CR5 is a specialized high-output 6V lithium battery pack, commonly formed by two 2/3A cells wired in series within a plastic housing. This particular unit was the lifeblood of the 1990s and early 2000s electronic SLR revolution, specifically designed to handle the high-drain requirements of autofocus motors and integrated pop-up flashes in cameras like the Minolta Maxxum 5000i and Pentax SF1n. This specimen is a period-accurate artifact, still sealed in its original retail packaging with a "Use By 2013" date and a $13.99 price tag—a reminder of the relatively high operating costs of "modern" film photography at the turn of the millennium. While likely chemically depleted, it serves as a perfect companion piece for any prosumer camera body from that era.
