If you know what battery it uses, you can look it up using Yahoo!'s excellent Search utility at the top of the page to see where it is sold or if it has a compatible replacement.
If you use the same utility, you can also search what battery your camera uses if you don't know what it is.
I could not find a Minolta 7000 here
[URL Truncated]
Only a 700 or 3000.
If you know the type battery or better have the old one, just go into a camera store and buy one unless it is a mercury battery, then you will have to find the "green" replacement
The Minolta 7000. How quickly the mighty are forgotten. The world's first in-body autofocus SLR and nobody even raises a glass. It was also the first camera to render completely useless the entire line of older lenses, effectively killing off the Minolta MD mount. Brave moves, indeed.
Anyway, it came with the battery holder BH-70S that held 4x AAA batteries. The optional extra in that department was the BH-70L that held 4x AA batteries. I have the L and it increased usage from ~25 to ~80 rolls of 36exp. With Lithium cells, it would get hundreds of rolls off. Very rare was the BH70-T that held a 2CR5 lithium cell. If you have one of those, then you can easily get 2CR5 cells from stores.
The button cell memory backup battery installed was designed to last 10 years. Mine still works after 24yrs, but it's tricky to get to. They say you should contact a Minolta service center but I suspect the technician working on it will be younger than the camera and no more capable of replacing than you or I. Just trying to find its spec - but it will be a common button cell.
Edit: made a mistake with the lithium cell. Amended.
Edit 2: Back up cell is a CR2016 and it's located under a panel that's fixed with 2 screws inside the battery compartment.
Happy shooting.
Yes.
See - all it takes. All that ^ - just showing off. He knows the camera, so what? Just say YES.
