Battery Selector Chart

This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date listing of all Sekonic meter models, both current and discontinued. The chart includes the Model Number, Name, Replacement Battery (either standard or special non-mercury), First Manufacture Release Date (From) and Last Production Date (To). Note: Unlisted meters do not require a battery.

Some older Sekonic meters require a mercury battery, which is illegal to manufacture or sell in the United States. However, alternate versions and adapters are available:
