Many cameras can use a 6-volt PX28A battery; examples include the Canon A-1 and AE-1, Mamiya M645 (and the Super, Pro etc.) and the Bronica SQ and other medium-format SLRs.
The battery has a diameter of 13 mm and is 25 mm tall; roughly half the size of a AA battery. It is denoted simply as 28A by Duracell,[1] or 4LR44 if of alkaline magnesium chemistry, or 4SR44 if silver oxide.
The charge capacity of the alkaline battery is stated differently by different makers: Duracell's 28A alkaline cell is said to have a capacity of only 105 mAhr; Camelion claims a capacity of 165 mAhr for their 4LR44, and 145 mAhr for the 4SR44. The silver oxide battery has a slightly higher voltage of 6.2V.[2]
The battery is functionally equivalent to four 1.5-volt LR44 or SR44 cells, though four of these are smaller than the single 6-volt cell, so a battery compartment will need to be padded if they are to be substituted.
