Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

meh. i guess it would be neat to be able to run it off batteries using
a single 9v battery instead of 6 D's...but i never run mine off
batteries and can't imagine where/why i would...

i just used aluminum foil and tape and some spare wires (and the 4
AA's) to make my battery pack...and taped it to the inside of the CZ
rather than putting it inside the battery compartment. i could always
wire a 9v battery snap into the battery compartment later..

but a friend says he's done this same trick, and only got a few weeks
of life out of the new battery pack before it died...!? i can't
imagine how the batteries could have drained so quickly tho...he ended
up having a lithium battery professionally installed...
