nfa Posted May 14 Share #1 Posted May 14 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi! I have lost the adapter that you switch into the charger to adapt to foreign plugs (see picture). It definitely seems like it is not Leica specific but I cannot find any replacement. I have seen on a very old thread you could find this piece on Ebay, but no luck. By chance anyone would have a clue where to buy this part online ? Thanks Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Hi nfa, Take a look here M8 old charger missing part, any spare ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
JohnW. Posted May 14 Share #2 Posted May 14 Might be easier and cheaper to replace the charger. I purchased a USB charger from eBay a couple of years ago and it charges my M8 batteries (both original and third party) without problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Ardinger Posted May 14 Share #3 Posted May 14 Evidently I bought that charger in 2007 for about $135 dollars (according to my B&H history). I no longer have it or the M8 but this post prompted me to look at what is available now. As suggested, a new charger is probably the best way to go in 2025 and at least in the US, on Amazon, a charger for the M8 14464 BP-SCL1 battery sells for just under $10. Hope you have luck in finding the missing part, I would likely look for it also in order to have the original unit but if you need a functional charger to use the camera, a 3rd party knock off from Amazon should work.

M.Windemuth Posted May 15 Share #4 Posted May 15 Hello, my M8-charger has disappeared, but I still have the UK-plug left. You can have it and use it with a travel-adaptor. You can also look at www.trade-shop-online.de. See "Ladegeräte" and search for "Leica M9". You will find a new charger for 16€. I purchased several times there, and I was quite content. You can also look at the Leica-homepage. Choose "Preowned", and you will find at least two M8/M9-chargers in the version with cable as sold with the M9. For me that was the more convenient version compared with the M8-version. They are offered for 120€, which was the last price that Leica charged until 2024. Bonne chance!

nfa Posted May 15 Author Share #5 Posted May 15 Thanks to all, buying a new one may indeed be the wise solution! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Windemuth Posted May 16 Share #6 Posted May 16 Bon jour, another proposal: Contact the manufacturer (www.ansmann.de) They provide lots of chargers, and Im sure that any of their plugin-chargers uses the same plugs as the M8-charger did.
