I have this issue with almost every old camera I'm asked to use. I have found a helpful work around that doesn't cost the earth AND is easy to do.

the easiest way that I have found to sub in batteries for old tech is by ripping out the old cells and replacing with a modern eqivalent. The Sony beta cam power cell NP-11 outputs 9.6v at a draw of 6.2w;  So, a RC battery that you can get from Amazon for  20 bucks or so would fit the bill.

Crack open the power pack caeefully remove the old cells, solder a male jack to the battery header on the inside - drop in your new powercell connect the jacks and tape the battery enclosure closed. Pop it in the camera.

Just don't use the old charger to charge it!
