Replacement battery for Magna-Mike 8500
This Centenex Electronics Ni-MH pack replaces the original GE 200-058 cell in the Panametrics Olympus Magna-Mike 8500 thickness gauge. It delivers 6 V and 3000 mAh in a green housing that matches the factory colour. The unit is new and 100 % OEM compatible.
Upgrade from depleted or ageing cells
When the original pack no longer holds a full charge the gauge can lose power mid-measurement. Swapping in this 18.00 Wh battery restores the rated runtime without modifying the instrument. The change is worth it whenever field sessions are cut short by low-voltage warnings.
Fits the gauge battery compartment
The pack measures 112.40 x 46.12 x 22.60 mm and slides directly into the Magna-Mike 8500 battery bay. No soldering or adapter cables are required. The Ni-MH chemistry allows straightforward recharging with the gauge’s standard charger, freeing the operator from proprietary disposable cells.

Questions about this item
What are the exact dimensions of the DS-CS-MKE850SL battery so I can confirm it fits the Magna-Mike 8500 gauge?
The battery measures 112.40 x 46.12 x 22.60 mm, matching the space allocated for the original GE 200-058 pack in the Magna-Mike 8500 thickness gauge.
How do I install the Ni-MH pack in the Magna-Mike 8500, and what is the common mistake to avoid?
Open the gauge's battery compartment, disconnect the old pack, and connect the new DS-CS-MKE850SL using its existing wire harness; the step often missed is ensuring the connector clicks fully into the gauge's socket before closing the cover.
When will the 6V 3000mAh Ni-MH battery need replacement, and what should I look for?
Expect several hundred charge cycles; replace the pack when the Magna-Mike 8500 shows significantly reduced run-time or fails to hold a full charge after a normal charging cycle.
