Does anyone have a Metz 60 CT-4

I have one that hasn't been used for a while and the SLA battery is dead
as a doorstop -- they do weigh like 2 Lbs.

The battery is dead so I removed it and tried to run it on the AC cord
(battery charger). This didn't work and I don't know and the instruction
manual doesn't say if you can run it on AC without a battery.

Does anyone that might have one know it it will run on AC without a
battery?


It will run on AC without a battery if you've got the "Mains unit N 23" (an optional extra), but won't run simply off the AC cord used for charging the battery.

I just tested mine in the same fashion and had the same result as you.

Thanks. I guess that I will need to purchase a battery then. I guess that the SLA is the best choice since the NiCads don't have the same capacity and the wet cells don't seem to exist anymore.
