Where can I get these? It is hard to find the 4.5V battery, but if I can get a pair of female plug, I can hook it up with 3 AA battery pack.

Wouldn't it be easier to replace the battery box with AA/AAA batteries?
A simple battery box from Radio Shack or other electronical supply place would hold 'em

Can you post an image? I recall once doing exactly what you are describing--I think I got the plug from Mouser--but can't remember what the plug looks like.

This is exactly what I am trying to to, need to find a female plug to connect to the shutter.

I saw such a plug in the ebay listing 120814013494. Instead of a big 4.5v battery, I prefer a 3-AA battery box.

I used crimp connectors to hook up my batteries. They slid onto the posts snugly after I crimped the battery wires on them. I found it worked quite well with just two AAA batteries.
