Hello, does anybody have a recommendation for a good quality rechargeable battery for the Contax 645? Thank you.

I wouldn't bother unless you are still using film. I use the contax all the time. My last outing to europe, I only used 3 batteries for almost 3000 shots (ok, it was 2800 and change!)

PS: But buy GOOD quality lithium; brand names, not "X"

you mean, if you do not have a vertical grip? i would be interested to know myself. as for the vertical grip option, four 2500mAh AAs will last forever.

That's correct, Irakly, I do not have the accessory vertical grip. The better 2CR5 batteries can be purchased for around $10 each, but in looking around, I think a few rechargeable Eveready batteries (or something like that) with a decent charger looks like it could be purchased for under $50. Less expensive in the long run, I think.

I've bought both, the Lenmar is better quality but nothing wrong with the cheaper Juice brand either, just doesn't hold charge as long.
