How to replace the NiCd batteries of the METZ MECABLITZ 45 CL-4 flash?

Question

Accepted Answer

The METZ MECABLITZ 45 CL-4 flash uses a NiCd battery pack 45-40 that does not contain individual batteries to replace. If your NiCd battery is worn out and you wish to replace it with a new pack, here is the procedure:

Removing the old battery:

Press both locking buttons located on the battery drawer simultaneously
Remove the battery pack from the flash

Installing the new NiCd 45-40 battery:

Insert the new battery pack into the flash head
Push until you hear or feel the click of closure

Mandatory initial charge:

Before any first use, the NiCd battery must be charged for 5 hours. Locate the charging socket at the bottom of the battery pack. Connect the supplied charger or the B 45 charger set (ref. 0012045) to this socket. A light indicator next to the socket lights up during charging. You can leave the battery engaged in the flash during this recharge, but do not operate the flash during this time.

Important: Never place a NiCd battery pack in the optional 45-39 battery drawer. NiCd batteries have specialized contacts designed for their specific voltage. The battery drawer is exclusively reserved for manganese alkaline batteries type LR 6. Incorrect use could damage your flash.
