Rechargeable Battery - Phase One 645
Specular have tested the Ejji 10K Rechargeable battery for the Phase One 645DF & 645AF cameras as well as the Mamiya 645 AFD III, AFD II & AFD cameras.
The battery claims to provide about 10,000 shots on a single charge, we haven't tested it to that number of shots, but it certainly lasts a long time and it seems like a valid claim. We've tested it, it integrates nicely with the camera body, it seems like a winner.
