Power Pack M is the large transformer with a-plenty of tactile toggle
switches, and large interval timer knob in the centre. I am on the trail of
one as we speak.
It's a lovely thing - would have looked great on our stand at Photographica -
unfortunately someone purchased it.

Hi,
some comments:
the original cells ( 1/3AA 14x17mm, cost in Germany about 2 Euro each ) have
a capacity of 110 mAh. The POWER PACK M gives 25mA charge current. So the
nominal charging time for a complete empty pack will be 110*1,4/25=6,16 = 6
hours 10 minutes. ( 1,4 is the typical effiency fa

Other post says 6 to 10 hours. 16 would be a max ?

No, about 8 hours is right. There is a real chance to
ruin the batteries when charging them for 16 hour

Camera Direct has the NiCad Packs for about £120 (I think). The chargers
are simple two-prong affairs that take either ~110v or ~230v
Yes, the charger is a dumb charger. They can still be purchased new from
B&H and other places... I believe they go for $60 or so, but it has been a

Hi,
I might get an LX drive soon, but alas, it lacks the charger. I
have few questions wrt it, please:
1) how hard the chargers are to get, either from Pentax /or else

2) how do they work - it's a dumb charger I presume, without any
electronics inside to wat
