Fellow time-nuts, Yesterday I picked up a Sulzer 5A + 5P without batteries. It is supposed to have 21 D-cell NiCd batteries, but today those are not easy to come by, so I wonder if I can either run the PSU safely without battery or if I can swap in lead-batteries. I know that some of you

Magnus A rare occasion that I get to have an answer for you. I have two sulzers also and the batteries 5 years ago were an issue. I believe nimh batteries could be put in if you really need batteries. At $35 I passed that option. Plus batteries are just a pain. I think the issue you have is that

I have used NiMH D cells as directly replacements for NiCd D cells in devices that have slow, 0.1C rate or 14 hour, chargers without problems. It takes longer to fully charge since the NiMH cells have about twice the capacity but then they last about twice as long. The price for the MiMH cells

Hi Magnus, that should be pretty much identical to my recently acquired Racal MA259 that consists of a SA500 5 MHz oscillator and PU525 power supply / battery pack. The batteries have already been replaced by a 'battery simulator'. I haven't looked inside yet, but it consists very likely

Hi Magnus -- I was recently (within the last year) able to get the battery pack in my 5P power supply rebuilt by the local Batteries Plus store. It took a few weeks for them to order and obtain the cells, but they do seem to be available. John On Nov 1, 2012, at 4:51 PM, Magnus Danielson

and here is the corresponding Racal manual: http://www.ko4bb.com/Manuals/Racal/Racal_MA2595Mc-s_Precision_Frequency_Standard.pdf Unfortunately, the schematic of the Sulzer manual is incomplete. So, the above manual might be useful. Just the oven control circuits differ a little, but the
