Where can i buy a battery holder for a minolta maxxum 7000.

Depending on the battery holder, you can use AA, AAA, lithium.
If you have lithium battery holder, buy AAA battery holder or AA battery holder from eBay.

it might be the internal battery. remove the battery holder and remove the screws on the metal plate. gently lift the plate and replace the battery. remember the different length of the screws.

remove the battery holder, then remove the screws on the metal plate, remember different length of screws. gently lift the plate and replace the battery. it may take a while for systems to turn on.

I have 1 or there are a couple of them on eBay, Item: 250431123065 is 9.99 free shipping. The AAA holder correct?

HFMagna,
there are no new parts available for the 7000, but if you go to a camera repair shop they may sell you a used one, or offer to install it for you at a reasonable price.

The lithium button cell is under the metal plate where the battery holder attaches. There are six screws holding the plate to the camera. I believe the cell is a CR-2025.

That being said, replacing the lithium battery will only restore the cameras ability to remember your settings and frame counter when the regular batteries are not on the camera. It will not restore functions of the camera.

If the camera is not functioning properly, you have a power problem with the main batteries, not the memory backup cell

The battery holders were known for corrosion buildup at the pivot point, your batteries might not be making good contact.

The lithium button cell is only a memory backup for when the main power pack is off the camera. It allows the camera to retain the number of exposures, asa setting, etc. You problem may lie in the battery holder. The BH70 was prone to corrosion at the contacts and the pivot points where the part that holds the batteries to the side plate with the retaining screw. It is possible to remove the batteries from the holder, then carefully separate the two pieces by popping one end enough to allow the pivot pin to slide past the notch. Use a hard eraser to clean all of the metal points (pivot contacts and the springs and plate in the 4 cell holder.

CR-2016 lithium batterys for a 7000 can you get the batterys on there own or are they in a holder of two?? as i can not seem to get mine out of the holder
