I have a Canon EOS Rebel 35mm film camera for class, but it didn’t come with a battery. Which battery should I buy? If different Rebel film models use different batteries, how can I identify the right one?

Find the exact model here, and look for the specifications: http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/film/series_eos.html

Note that there are many different models that are called "Canon EOS Rebel something", and some of them use different kinds of batteries. For example, EOS Rebel XS seems to use CR123A batteries while EOS Rebel 2000 uses CR2 batteries (both of these models are 35mm film cameras).

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.

Canon made several 35mm film cameras with the Rebel name, and they do not all use the same battery. The exact battery depends on the specific model.

From the community answers:

Some Rebel film models use CR123A batteries
Canon EOS Rebel 2000 uses CR2
One answer states a Canon EOS Rebel 35mm uses a 2CR5 battery

So the safest approach is to find the exact model name on the camera body and check that model’s specifications in the manual or Canon’s camera museum/spec page. The battery type is usually also listed inside the battery compartment or on its door.

In short: don’t buy by “Rebel” name alone—identify the exact model first, then match the battery type.
