Replacement Watch Capacitor Battery 295-6700 MT416 295-67
Product Overview
The Replacement Watch Capacitor Battery 295-6700 MT416 is a precision-engineered component designed to restore full functionality to select Citizen Eco-Drive and Seiko Solar watches. This new, high-quality capacitor serves as a direct replacement for the original part, ensuring reliable energy storage and consistent power delivery within solar-powered watch movements. Featuring a Citizen-specific connector, it is built exclusively for integration with compatible movement types and will not function in watches from other brands or with unlisted internal mechanisms. Whether you’re a professional watch technician or an experienced DIY repairer, this capacitor offers a dependable solution for reviving timepieces that have lost their ability to hold a charge.
Unlike traditional watch batteries, this capacitor is part of a solar-rechargeable system, meaning it captures and stores energy from both natural and artificial light sources. Once installed, the watch resumes its normal charging cycle—simply exposing it to light allows the capacitor to recharge, eliminating the need for frequent battery changes. This makes it an ideal choice for maintaining the longevity and sustainability of your solar-powered watch.

Benefits & Use Cases
This capacitor is essential for restoring power storage in watches that no longer hold a charge—common symptoms include dimming displays, erratic timekeeping, or complete failure to operate despite light exposure. It is particularly valuable for users who rely on their solar-powered watches daily and want to avoid recurring maintenance costs. Whether you’re repairing a vintage Eco-Drive or maintaining a modern Seiko Solar model, this replacement part ensures your watch returns to peak performance.
The capacitor is suitable for both professional watchmakers and knowledgeable hobbyists with basic disassembly tools. However, due to the delicate nature of watch internals, those unfamiliar with watch repair should consider professional installation to prevent damage to the movement or casing.
After installation, it’s important to charge the capacitor thoroughly. Under bright sunlight, place the watch in direct exposure for 3 to 5 days to achieve a full charge. During cloudy, rainy, or indoor conditions, use a desk lamp positioned 5 to 8 centimeters from the watch face. Keep the lamp on continuously for approximately 72 hours to ensure the capacitor reaches maximum capacity. This method guarantees reliable performance regardless of weather or lighting environment.
Important Notes
This capacitor is not a universal component—it will only function with the specified movement numbers and is not compatible with non-Citizen or unlisted models. Attempting to install it in an incompatible watch may result in operational failure or damage. Always verify your watch’s internal movement number before purchasing. The product is sold as a standalone capacitor and does not include installation tools, adhesives, or additional hardware. For best results and to preserve your watch’s integrity, professional installation is recommended for users without prior experience in watch repair.
